Zmanim RSS Feed in the Works

The Zmanim API currently has 2 sample classes in the output package. One outputs zmanim as an Excel spreadsheet and is currently used in the Zmanim Calendar Generator, the other that is not fully maintained outputs zmanim in a PDF format. I just started work on the third output class. This will generate an RSS feed of zmanim for a given location. I plan on outputting zmanim for the current day and the following week. The API that will be used is ROME. It seems pretty stable and relatively easy to use. The fact that is being developed by Sun developers (it uses the com.sun.syndication package structure) and is open source probably means that it has a chance of actually still being around and supported down the road. Read more on the ROME Wiki.
