very nice one 
Looks good in Firefox, while Chrome is a bit pathetic.....
For working examples try: http://evoke.versere.com/evoke/latest.rss and http://spiritualsun.org/evoke/latest.rss which both give site level feeds.
Note that there is no login requirement to get the public items.

RSS Feed Generator
Each page now has an RSS feed associated with it's what's new tab. For instance this page's feed is at http://versere.com/evoke/page/1485/latest.rss
For this to work you will need to have installed PyRSS2Gen which can be found here: http://www.dalkescientific.com/Python/PyRSS2Gen.html
To use this in the context of a reader it would be necessary to include your login credentials as part of the url eg. latest.rss?__user__=xxxx&__pass__=yyyy ....(more)

update RSS feed parser
revision 5124
A much updated RSS feedparser by Mark Pilgrim is now in place at /base/lib/feedparser.py . This copes much better with modern feeds.

previous and next articles links fixed
revision 5090
I have fixed previous and next articles links so that they correspond properly with article listing order (ie by posting date). Previously, there were anomalies.

drafts listings made useful
revision 5072
I have rejjgged the draft listings - until now they appeared in each group and category (and elsewhere) and were incomplete (showing only articles) and fairly superfluous, as the draft articles were visible anyway (to the author or administrator) with the posted articles.
Now a listing of drafts only appears on your own homepage (and only if you have some drafts), as "my drafts", and gives all drafts (articles, episodes, replies) that you have on the system. This gives you an easy way of finding any draft posts you have on the system. ....(more)

new registration methods added
revision 5032
I have enhanced User.py to provide the following registration options, which are selected via a new registration_method config parameter.

I have enhanced User.py to provide the following registration options, which are selected via a new registration_method config parameter.
registration_method options:
- "self": the existing approach - the user registers and confirms via email validation
- "admin": all registrations are created by the admin, via a link on the registrations listing
- "approve": the user registers and the admin approves the registration - in this case the admin is sent an email alert with a link to validate the registration (this can also be done, as now, from the registrations listing. Note that, so far, there is no automatic confirmation to the user that they have been accepted - the admin has to notify them manually.

good - a less industrial approach than the limit parameter
page, pagelength
Have added 2 parameters to ob.list
This allows queries that return subsets of their total results. The query is re-run each time and maps to limit

"share this" removed (for now)
"share this" links have been removed for now, as they were not being maintained.
The intention is to replace these, if and when required, with a simple link to a generic "share this" service.

older and newer item links
revision 4846
Hopefully this gives more stable, understandable and usable navigation links.
- the "next article" ("next reply", whatever) link has been moved to a more suitable location, i.e. at the foot of the page, and enhanced to give e.g. "older article" and "newer article"
- these links are now only given for posted items
- the links for articles are now in the sequence they were posted (unlike before where the sequence of last update was used)
Hopefully this gives more stable, understandable and usable navigation links.
