Been looking for more news feeds for us to eat, have hit a bone:

LibCom news tagged with "scotland" is on this page and I think worth including:
http://www.libcom.org/news/scotland
...it looks like there should be a feed of only these articles at:
http://www.libcom.org/news/feed/scotland
...but this includes *all* their news, not just the stuff we want.

- ---> does anyone have an account there and could they ask about getting the
likelihood of them fixing the feed?



And something for people to chew the cud over:

I agree we shouldn't (yet?) host individual bloggers' feeds, but what do we
think of campaign groups' sites, either political or single-issue? They are
not strictly news sites, but they have news on them.

I have loads of these on my feed reader, e.g.:
Common Good Watch (land issues)
* http://commongoodwatch.wordpress.com
Independent Republic of the Canongate (Edinburgh developments)
* http://independentrepublicofthecanongate.blogspot.com/

The first of those is single issue but the whole of Scotland, the 2nd is
single issue (arguably a much narrower one) and Edinburgh-specific. I think
they both do a good job and I have cut n paste their work to the site before.

Are these the kind of thing we want? Are there guidelines / rules of thumb
we can think of using?
