Re: [syndication] Parsing script

["Jeff Barr" <jeff@vertexdev.com>]

All of these scripts are great (and represent a lot of work and a lot of trouble
to maintain), but native RSS feeds for this information would be spectacular.

There are a few weather feeds on Syndic8 for specific areas:

<http://www.syndic8.com/feedlist.php?OrderBy=feedid&OrderDir=asc&Start=0&ShowScraped=a&ShowMatch=weather&ShowLanguage=*>

Here is some weather data in XML (just ripe for a transformation to RSS):

http://weather.boygenius.com/

Here is a burning hunk of XML with data for a bunch of US cities:

http://weather.boygenius.com/united_states.xml

A Google search for "Weather XML feed" returns all sorts of goodies.

Jeff;
