Is there a way to get a full text feed of all the use.perl journals? The feed on offer for the main journals page is somewhat limited -- it only has the titles and doesn't link through to the individual articles.
I only ask because up until now, I'd used "friends journals" to keep track of everybody. But I've just bumped into a limit -- only 200 friends are allowed. And it would be far more sensible to just read all new journals...

Thanks, I'll give that a try. It just bugs me that the site doesn't provide it by default...I know, I know. "patches welcome"

You can turn most list pages on use Perl into feeds using the content_format query parameter, including a feed of the generic journal search. That gives you a feed with everyone’s posts, and each item links through to the specific post in question, though there’s no fulltext. Despite the last point, I find it helps enough to make reading along tolerable.

Sadly, that just spits out html for me.:-( -Dom

Gah, because the parameter is called content_type; so another try at linking a useful all-journals feed.

Many thanks; that works much better. it could be improved, however.:-) -Dom

Yeah, I’ve wondered before why the feed doesn’t contain at least the short plaintext snippets that are shown on the journals search page. But I don’t care that much; I read everything, anyway.

More than likely, it's simply because the feature isn't applicable to slashdot, which is what the codebase is aimed at. I certainly wouldn't call the oversight malicious in any way...-Dom
