About Recent Updates table in archlinux.org
Hello,
We are going to make a website about archlinux and we would like to have real-time table about recent updates too(like in archlinux.org frontpage). How could we 'take' that data from archlinux.org? Maybe we could discuss about that with Archlinux.org webmaster?

You could probably parse the rss feed(s).

You could probably parse the rss feed(s).
but for gods sake cache it locally so it doesn't fetch/parse on every page load.
Maybe fetch it in a cron every 5 or 10 minutes and store it in a local file, and parse the local file on every page load.
