Operations Research Exchange!

Question

1

I subscribe to the RSS feed for OR-Exchange (in Thunderbird). Apparently it only shows new questions, not new responses/comments, so I can't tell from T-bird when something has been added to an existing question. Anyone know a polynomial-time workaround?

Near as I can tell, the question feed is the only one currently available. See http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3262/provide-more-rss-feeds-questions-activity-unanswered-users-badges-searches for some discussion on this. I agree it would be great to get the answers too!

Hi,

I think you might be able to build a Yahoo Pipe for this website and feed the pipe to your Thunderbird.

People on Stack Overflow have been very creative with Pipes. The following pipes might help:

Thanks -- I didn't know about Yahoo Pipes, so this was quite interesting. If I scrape the front page, I can find dates for recent activity, but (without having studied too deeply) I didn't find a way in Pipes to keep a running tab of which dates I'd already checked (so that I would get a feed for a new response/comment only once). Maybe I'll research further some day, but for now I'll probably just scan the main page periodically. – Paul Rubin Dec 15 at 0:53

Pipes are pretty neat. Over time, http://pipes.yahoo.com/mike_trick/orexchange may have the full feed. But it is not particularly automatic at the moment (nor complete: it only includes recently active questions).

What is the RSS feed for the site? I couldn't find it from the FAQ.
