Interesting idea, Jo. Two big obstacles:
1. Getting author's permission. This issue has come up on TMC-NLC before
- one author will authorize for one use but not another, someone else
for the second but not the first. Of course, you could make it that if
an author submits it, they are automatically granting a specific usage
license, but that would have to be spelled out.
2. Constructing the feeds: Are you thinking about coding the feed by
hand? If so...wow. You must have lots of time on your hands.

Moderation? You think I keep that group in line???? ;)
