    Site seems to be high traffic, as I can\’t get to it this morning.

    I wonder whether they\’ll take a leaf out of the British Oxford Dictionary of National Biography \’s book

    They have a \”life of the week\” via RSS feed. You never know who is going to pop into your aggregator.

    That would be sweet. Even better if the Bureau of Meteorology could add RSS feeds for their weather forecasts.
