*** This is a copy of WEB-90 Feature Request and I am looking for comments about it ***
*** Just for clarification (Should of put this in the Request) I mean one global RSS Feed for global triggers. Not like RPC ***
Machine Parseable RSS Feed on Grid Status could mean developers (Both inside but mostly outside the SecondLife environment) can implement triggers in their application(s) depending on the current or future status of the grid.
An example RSS item could be:
<item>
<title>DOWNTIME [Tue, 25 Apr 2007 06:00:00 PDT]-[Tue, 25 Apr 2007 12:00:00 PDT]</title>
<link>http://blog.secondlife.com/2007/04/24/downtime-for-wednesday-version-1150-release/</link>
<description>Version 1.15.0 release. A viewer update will be required.</description>

</item>
RFC 822 Timestamps and recognizable statuses (Eg DOWNTIME, RELEASE etc.)
Doesn't just have to be just grid status it could also be used for anything else which an application might need an trigger for.
An example of the use of this would be a website which allows LSL scripts to interact with it (llHTTPRequest). If the website software could detect scheduled downtime it could do house-cleaning in preparation for the down time. This could maintain stability and integrity of it's system.
