[opencms-dev] Content Syndication in OpenCMS

[M Butcher]

Tell me more about how you think it ought to work. Should there be a way
to select which articles will be included in the RSS? What I had figured
(based on the way I set things up) is that the articles that would be
syndicated would also all exist in the same directory -- in which case,
it is pretty easy to just assume that the top, say, 10 files in a
directory are the ones that should be included in the RSS.

But it sounds like your experience is different. How would you want to
choose which headlines would be included in the RSS?
