I was thinking of an bot that can read RSS newsfeeds from xml code, and post it in the hub when the XML has been updated.

for example bbc news , or whatever news feed youd like to add. :D

I played a bit with webreader by mutor .

it would seem that it might be something along those lines that im looking for , except it should handle xml tags and stuff.

*sigh* , maybe I should just give up , and learn how to code lua :P
