Did anyone else notice that the RSS / ATOM newsfeeds are broken?
According to Thunderbird, last time they worked for me was Nov 6th, 2006.
The feed
http://www.reactos.org/xhtml/en/newsfeed_rss.xml
now gives a page not found,
while the RSS and ATOM links in the upper right corner of page
http://www.reactos.org/en/newsletter_14.html
have been changed and now contain
http://www.reactos.org/en/newsfeed_rss.html
http://www.reactos.org/en/newsfeed_atom.html
none of which looks very feedish to me (nor to Thunderbird...)
Feeds broken?
Moderator: Moderator Team
Please try out the following links:
http://www.reactos.org/en/newsfeed_rss.xml
http://www.reactos.org/en/newsfeed_atom.xml
The linking seems to be a bug, I will fix it soon. The issues have been introduces as we switched to version 2 of page-generator. I have tried to test most of the website, everything I have tested worked fine.
As I don't usually use news feeds, I simply forgot to test them.
No one else has mentioned something.
Thanks a lot for reporting the issues.

Actually, I only discovered by chance that something was broken: I didn't see any Thunderbird complaint about the broken link, I just didn't have any ReactOS news message since last November. I found out I was missing stuff while browsing the site.
Hmmmm...
When I try to add this to my Thunderbird News Feeds, Thunderbird pops an "Alert" dialog box saying:
http://www.reactos.org/en/newsfeed_rss.xml is not a valid RSS feed.
Ditto with the Atom link.
When using
http://www.reactos.org/en/newsfeed_rss.xml
from FireFox, Firefox seems to recognize this as an RSS feed. But OTOH, what it displays doesn't really matches what the xml source shows. And I'm not knowledgeable enough in RSS stuff to see what's wrong there.

Ah! Clue:
What I see in Firefox is merely the link and description for first <item> of the four that are on the page ('ReactOS News - ReactOS Website back online again').
The next 3 items don't even appear.
Comparing the xml with valid feeds from other sources, like
http://www.alex-ionescu.com/?feed=rss2
it looks like it expects real articles there rather than links.

Re: Feeds broken?
Are they broken again? http://www.reactos.org/en/newsfeed_rss.xml shows that last newsletter is #44, while it should be #46
Re: Feeds broken?
I create RSS feed for ReactOS news, updating 3 times per day.

Re: Feeds broken?
It seems to be fixed now. By the way, these RSS can't be saved to the PSP, since the PSP needs a special RSS reader to read NORMAL RSS Feeds. Which I find annoying.LRN wrote:Are they broken again? http://www.reactos.org/en/newsfeed_rss.xml shows that last newsletter is #44, while it should be #46
