I was wondering if there was a newsletter or RSS feed available on the website?

Personally I would appreciate having a mail notification that could be customized, (say new versions, news, articles and so on..) and or a little square with the news/articles like on the main page, but as feed on my google page. (my bad if it already is available and I missed it).

I think it would be a great plus, of course that is if it isn't too much trouble to make. Wouldn't want to waste the time of our precious devs  8)

Not sure what's wrong with that link, but the content seems messed up here (unpublished articles, latest news missing, old things first).

Good lord, that extension sucks.  :o
I'll disable it and work on an alternative

Wait, I'm an idiot.

Just go here: http://www.magiclantern.fm/whats-new/
It lists all the news feeds we have configured

That's what I had in mind yes.

Although, pardon me if I'm no computer wizard, but is there any ways to get one of those sections to show on the google main page thing? I'm skilled enough at the clicking a "add" button, the rest a little beyond me :P

Here's a rather blunt paint edited version (because a picture will always be clearer than me explaining): :D


As for the newsletter, did I miss that too?

EDIT: Nevermind I managed to add it, I guess it was obvious enough. Although I like the fact that the visuals remain in my version but I guess this would take precious time that could be spent coding better things.

Btw, Google is deprecating iGoogle so you may want switch to a news reader  :(

As for the "add this feed" button, I'll see what we can do  ;)

Well like I said it wasn't really hard to figure out but I think having the option easy to find and to reach would make more people get, I don't think everyone thinks about getting a RSS feed, but if it's made easily available then it would at least be considered.

Are implying that igoogle's day are counted? Not that it's vital but I like having penguins on my homepage :D

I think this website could have a great feed option, with the image gallery, the news and articles... But once again, dedicating time to setting up something with more than just text when people may not actually use it would be silly.
I dunno.

Regardless, a page with feed will be a nice improvement in my opinion. Well the News page with "add" buttons really.
