* The news items have no individual links since there is no graphical view of individual news items in the way that a blog would have. Is this a problem for RSS-readers?
I think it could be potentially confusing. Maybe we should add an id to each news item header row and link to that as an in-page anchor? opac-main.pl#newsitem4
* Should we add additional metadata like author, administrator, publishing dates etc?
I would add publish date. We don't store author or administrator information with individual news items so we can't show anything relevant there.
* Currently the feed will display news for all libraries + your home branch if you access it while logged in. Would only "all libraries" be better? Or maybe all libraries + every item for individual branches?
I would assume that anyone who was looking at the RSS feed would be doing so in a feed reader outside the context of a logged-in session, so I'm not sure the home branch items are going to get seen. I don't like that the feed a logged-in user would see in their RSS reader would be different from the news they see on the site, but I'm not sure there's a better way to handle it. A feed for all libraries might be inappropriate or simply too much data. One option might be to offer the user a choice? - "All libraries" news plus the user's library - "All libraries" news plus news for all libraries I don't know how savvy users are with multiple RSS feeds. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
