Summary:  RSS output of news items

Original Submission:  We should provide something like RSS output of news for 
each project. 

It can be easily added.

So people can print news item from Savannah projects on their webpages.

In fact, I even think that we should provide RSS-like item for each tools, so 
people can extract and reuse their data. So when implementing this, it should 
be done with that  in mind.

This is a RSS sample:
http://linuxfr.org/~penso/journal.rss

It looks like that (XML)

<item>
        <title>Journaux</title>
        <link>http://linuxfr.org/~penso/2158.html</link>
        <description>Pour éviter des soucis, les journaux ne sont désormais 
possibles que pour ceux qui ont au moins 2 XPs. Ca évitera les 
défouloirs.</description>
</item>

But it may generate big traffic. So it should be tested only for news at first. 
For instance, the ml-donkey massive requests was getting news in this way (but 
with text files, not formatted XML). Maybe from the start it should allows only 
one request per hour for an IP.
