[OWW-SC] OpenWetWare User Manaagement System: User Page created for new users autmatically

[Bill F]

Take a look at this:

http://www.openwetware.org/rss/new_members.xml

This is a simple RSS feed containing the last 5 registered members in the
UMS. I used a feed creation class to make the RSS. The feel can be undated
each time a nw UMS registration is processed.

Using the RSS reader extensions, the new user list can be placed anywhere on
the site.

Any information source from within OpenWetWare can be used to generate RSS
like this or more complicated.

Let me know if there are anythings that you would like to add to the
content.

Thanks.

B.
