Add RSS LINK tags to pages? Content of RSS.XML

[sebb <se...@gmail.com>]

Now that there is an RSS feed, perhaps it would be a good idea to add
the appropriate link to the Jakarta pages?

This just means adding something like the following to the HEAD section:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Apache Jakarta
RSS" href="/index.rss">

When added these allow some browsers (e.g. FireFox) to add the feed
easily as a link:

http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/livebookmarks.html

For an example of it in action, the BBC news site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/

I'm happy to add the links if there are no objections.

Having added the RSS feed manually to FireFox, it shows up as rather a
huge list of links.

Perhaps there should be some pruning of older entries - not sure how
easy that would be to do.

Perhaps some sort of rule could be setup to purge the news items as you
suggested. (Ie max of N items at a time ?)

Either way, +1 (probably not binding) .
