RSS Feeds from Repository Projects
http://www.bloglines.com/myblogs_display? folder=621267&since=9&Display=Display Note what I mean here are the LOR projects (not the repositories themselves, which you can find over here) that are producing RSS feeds as a way to communicate about their projects or otherwise coordinate their efforts.
