[PhotoFloat] RSS feed support?

Hi!

Anyone working on RSS feed support? This seems to be a glaring hole in
this otherwise amazing package.

I figured we could have a separate page for "latest pictures" which
would also generate an RSS feed. Or even better, an RSS feed that would
render with a proper stylesheet.

I was thinking of using Python's Feedparser to reload the feed during
the scan, then discard the oldest entries and add new ones, based on
simple heuristics, then write it back, using either home-made XML
generation code, Django's feed generator or feedformatter.

links:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/feedparser
https://github.com/dmdm/feedgenerator-py3k
https://code.google.com/p/feedformatter

this could live in a separate .py file with minimal impact on the rest
of the package.

Objections?

exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them
there. The only difference is that there is no cat.
