Re: RSS feed
I've never heard of RSS
Jeez, you gotta get out more .
Go to The Panda's THumb and scroll down some to see the "RSS Feeds" box on the right side to see what's going on. I bet they'd be glad to dispay the EvC RSS feed as well.
Firefox can display RSS feeds as "live bookmarks" which present a drop-down list of the current content of the feed. If you have Firefox, go to Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines and notice the little orange thingy at the very lower right corner of the window. Click on it and select "Subscribe to RSS". In the "Create in" drop-down select "Bookmarks Toolbar Folder" and pick OK.
Opera v7 and up display RSS feeds much like email and newsgroups. See RSS Newsfeeds In Opera Mail.
Mozilla allows installing RSS feeds as sidebars, and I bet Opera does too: see Install a Mozilla Sidebar.
RSS feeds can also be displayed by standalone programs called "aggregators" and websites often display other website's feeds, as at the Thumb.
It's just scripting language to create some XML. I bet that the code that generates the "Topics" page could spit out a feed as a side effect. See Set Up a Simple Syndication Feed Using RSS, Publishing Through A RSS Feed - Quick Guide, What is RSS?, and many more that Google can turn up.

Re: RSS feed
I wouldn't say that RSS is a scripting language; it's just a standard format of XML.
I didn't intend to say that RSS is a scripting language. I meant that the means of generating RSS is a scripting language.
