  As long as you have the news in a database, the feed generation 
package is one single script. Then you need to add a cronjob and you 
are done.
Of course it might not be a priority so it can wait. No hurry from my 
side ;)

In the meantime I could do the feed for the mailing lists.  Oh ...I 
also need to find the time to finish my postgresql articles
;)
I think the feeds fits well in the advocacy project. I know many 
developers with a blog or newsfeed aggregator. I suspect they would be 
pleased to add the pgsql feed.

  In fact many of the leading website are now generating a lot of 
traffic via the feeds. Just think about 100 then 1000 websites 
displaying the official postgresql.org feed.

We might also shake up the guys at O'Reilly to add it somewhere.
