+/* this is an example for a RSS-based newsfeed room for PSYC
+ * just copy it and enter your favourite RSS URL. you can also
+ * specify a RESET_INTERVAL in minutes. please don't run your
+ * own news gateway if one already exists - PSYC packets are
+ * much much more efficient than polling RSS files, therefore
+ * if you like getting heise news, simply /subscribe or /enrol
+ * to psyc://psyced.org/@heise (until heise catch the
+ * drift and provide such a PSYC news service themselves ;))
+ *
+ * by the way, RSS is not the only newsfeed interface to PSYC -
+ * in the perlpsyc distribution is an email filter script which
+ * parses dpa news coming by email and creates PSYC notices out
+ * of it. the best idea would obviously be if publishing tools
+ * learned how to notify changes directly to a PSYC newsroom.
+ * it's really simple.. just connect and dump a few lines!
