Is there an RSS file for metafilter? I'd love to have the last ten posts on my portal.

I'm pretty sure there is one, as Matt has the headlines on his site. But I'm not sure he's at all interested in letting all comers grab it (and strain his servers), which sucks, cuz I'd like to use it with swen.

yeah, I'm actually making flat html files once an hour and ftping to my haughey.com server. I'm working with XML and XSL right now, and will be setting up a XML feed of the last 24hrs of MetaFilter really soon.

Some people might like a nifty little JavaScript include system like iSyndicate and several others use, too.

I don't know if anyone cares that much though, or whether people generally feel those JavaScript includes are evil. It would make adding MetaFilter content to sites a lot easier for people who don't have access/know-how to build a system to use an XML feed.
