[JDEV] Thesis work: jabber news watcher

[-= COBNET =-]

[sorry that I've reordered this post, it just make more sense to me reading 
up to down than down to up. I've learned to read that way you know ;-). 
Reading up to down is especially usefull for people who just subscribed to 
JDEV (like me ;-) ) and who want to pick up a discussion somewhere in the 
middle]

I already read about this RSS transport and I already tried to find some 
more info about it, but I just can't figure out what it is exactly. I mean, 
would it make my idea unnecessary or would it be more like that that RSS 
transport would be able to help me with my idea?
