Hey all -- as Flounder continues to grow, the front page gets more
crowded. I am thinking about ways I could handle content aggregation.
Right now I use RSS for the gemlog folder. I plan on creating an RSS
feed for all file updates. However, there is no built in way to follow
people on Flounder. Is this something you all are interested in? Do you
have any ideas on how this ought to work?
All the best,
Alex
Actually, yes. a way for each user to implement RSS, or have Flounder
as top end allow 'follow user via RSS' as an option.
Speaking as one of your users who kinda feels like he's spamming your
front page with updates I'd be happy for an option to cut down on the
clutter I'm making that could crowd out other users.
If nothing else condense the updates to [$USER update $x times $DATE:
Last Update: XX-XX-XXX] rather than list every update separately.
It's all good -- I have a couple of ideas for cleaning up the front page
(basically what you describe in the last line), sadly I haven't had much
time to work on Flounder these days but I have an open ticket for it

Hello.
I was thinking about this for long time too. Very wanted this option.
