Hi Carol and All,

Thanks for having me on the DITA.xml.org Editorial Board.

A first rough draft of the DITA News aggregator is available at:
http://dita-staging.xml.org/aggregator/categories/4

We need to set up a "cron" to pull feeds on a regular schedule (every 12 
hours?) and then the posts will interleave themselves by time.  The page 
now shows news feeds in the order I manually added them (last in - first 
out so eWeek is at the top).

We will be filtering the feeds on DITA-related keywords, so we need your 
suggestions for important terms.

Cheers,

Bob.
