I'm a total addict of reading the journals here at use.perl. But coming to the site, and opening 20 windows to read the latest journal entries does get a bit boring (not to mention hard on the system). What I'd love to be able to do is to subscribe to 1 RSS channel that would list all of the recent journal entries. But even though I'm a pretty smart guy, I can't figure out how to do that. What's worse, I think the existing feed might work, except that I don't know how to add people to my friends list.
Any suggestions?

I wonder if that's really the way forward. Imagine, if you will, begin able to access use.perl with something like:
nntp://use.perl.org/journals.Matts
nntp://use.perl.org/stories
With each journal entry/story being the head article in a thread of comments. It should just be a simple matter of programming...Re:Adding to Friends

I recall hearing a long time ago there was an effort to make use.perl accessible via NNTP. Wonder if that ever happened?
It's reasonably easy to do (just hack NNML a bit, and you're done), I did it for O'Reilly's WebBoard, and it works damn well.Re:Adding to Friends

There's nothing for it yet. Patches welcome! Although, please discuss it with me first so we can sync up on how best to do it.:-) The short answer, though, is that it'd be neat, but I can't spend time on it, and neither can my coworkers, at this time.
