First off, great stuff on RSSing the calendars!

This would be great, too!  It'd be *really* great if this could be
integrated (so a lab doesn't have to go sign up for FeedBurner themselves,
etc.), and I notice that FeedBurner's "Total Stat PRO" service is now free (
http://code.google.com/apis/feedburner/101_flares.html).

Hmm.... looks like you can definitely get the statistics via their API...
see idea #52 on http://code.google.com/apis/feedburner/101_flares.html.

OK. Sorry to be so verbose today.


Maybe I'm the only one... but I think it's great to hear about OWW
development ideas! :)
