Is there any way to set up a RSS newsfeed for the skins and plugins pages? Just something that would let us know something new is available or updated. These are pages I check most every day and RSS would make life a little easier time-wise and perhaps band-with wise for the web site.

I like the idea. And the news from homepage as well would be nice.

I got introduced to it when Opera integrated RSS-reader in it.

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a lightweight XML format designed for sharing headlines and other Web content

I knew about it but didn't try it until Opera implemented it. I find it useful for some sites that don't create a lot of news. Sites like the BBC can be overwhelming in the number of articles in the inbox. I find it nice for sites that don't update everyday. Or Joke-A-Day type sites. For places like BBC News with new info throughout the day I find it easier to download a web page with most everything on one page.

I've been thinking about a QCD RSS feed some time now. I visit the site almost daily in case anything new has happened, plug-ins, skins, builds, anything.

I think it would be great to have a number of RSS feeds, one for each of the site's sections: Builds, plug-ins, skins, news etc. Under this scenario one could only subscribe to the ones he/she's interested in. IMO it would be very practical, it would save me a lot of time/hassle of browsing around hopping to spot any news.

I think that one feed for everything would be enough. There doesn't so much new skins/new plug-ins/other news that there would be need to be picky.
