Here is an adesklet that watches the Arch forum. In the config file, you can supply keywords that will be used to watch the forum topics. Once the desklet is running, click the desired message to start your browser. As it stands right now, the desklet refreshes every 5 minutes. I should put that in the config file.
Typical config file look like so:
# -*- coding: ASCII -*-
id0 = {'body_color': (176, 196, 222, 255),
'browser': '/usr/bin/firefox',
'h': 200,
'message_keyword': ['kernel', 'browser', 'backup', 'server'],
'show_author': True,
'show_when': False,
'text_color': (0, 0, 125, 255),
'title_color': (0, 0, 255, 255),
'w': 450,
'x': 0,
'y': 20}Get the source code here:

I am posting the code down here hoping it is going to stimulate more interest...

Display recent forum message titles in a small window on the desktop.
To try it:
- Just run it straight out of the box. Recent message having a title
that contains a selected keyword will be displayed. Click the item
to open the forum at the selected message.
Customize it:
Set message_keyword parameters to display message title containing desired keywords.
Set show_author to True to display message author.
Set show_when to True to display message time stamp.
Set w to change desklet width.
Set h to change desklet height.
Set browser to your browser path.
