I was sitting around last night and a idea poped in my head i thought could be handy

basicly a little kiosk that would rotate every so often from the linden announcements to events to eployment, top 5 newest post, some hover text, and a little llLoadUrl script if you wanted to read any of it...

ez enugh the forums have RSS syndication, theres thousands of rss readers for php, pop in the right address on my server, have it update oh i dunno every 4-8 hours, do some magic and have the object access my server for the LSL happy version of what i want, should take about 5 min and it did...


BUT

YOU CANNOT ACCESS THE FORUMS WITHOUT BEING LOGGED IN !!!
so while my kiosk works great if you wanna see the top 5 headlines on CNN or NPR it just comes up blank for SL

so my question is

Eventho I know the forums here arnt the most positive thing, could you please open them up for anynomous READ ONLY access? Maby little gadgets like mine would help bridge the gap tween forums and world

Hi Osgeld, thanks for your request--others like it have come before. We don't have any plans at present to open up the forums like that. I'll post (on the forums, of course) if anything changes.

Sounds like you've got a handy gadget!
