Roundup RSS

As I linked, recently folks mentioned bug trackers as weblogs. My bug tracker of choice is Roundup, and I've been feeling the similarity some, though at the aggregation end: I've been quite wanting Roundup to publish RSS somehow.

So last night when I should've been sleeping, after a false start trying to make an RSS template, I wrote a Roundup detector that writes "RSS 2.0." (Ugh, am I ever feeling it today.) I put RSS 2.0 in scare quotes because it doesn't validate: I didn't know how to turn an issue Date into the proper <pubDate> format, so it's in the wrong format. Richard told me how on the roundup-users list, so I'll fix it some time, but that posted version won't make valid RSS 2.0.

Hello Mark, Do you know if its easy to localize Roundup in French? TIA -Emmanuel

The web interface is easy in that it's all done with templates anyway, but you'd probably also want to rename the fields, which is possible but I hesitate to say easy. Richard Jones would know better than I.

Thanks Mark for the info. I'm subscribing to the Rounup mailing list and will ask there. Cheers -Emmanuel
