The RSS theme is bundled into Gregarius 0.5.2 and greater, and you may want to install the <a href="http://plugins.gregarius.net/index.php?req=info&id=7" rel="nofollow">RSS view plugin</a> to expose the different feeds.

Port80 might use a feed of all the post summaries of all members, where I would use the name and title of everybody's posts except mine. My theory is that the odds are somebody else has already built it or something similar, so find and make use of it instead of building it myself from scratch.

If you could generate the combined feed, I'm sure there's wordpress plugins to output them. Or you could just point people to the feed and they could do whatever they want with them. We could run it off the Port80 site. What about <a href="http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">Magpie</a>? Maybe you could find a <a href="http://myles.eftos.id.au/blog/" rel="nofollow">Madpilot</a> to help with the PHP! Hmmm… so really, you want to aggregate feeds and republish them?
