Re: Weekly rss feed

The problem with the first is that users would get a bunch of single
items whenever they were added to the DB. I need to give them a
digest of what happened that week. I had thought of the range idea,
but then you're hitting the DB every hour all week for a single update
which doesn't sound correct. So i think i'll have a cron task just
update a field in a table each week that the actual Feed view will
pull from. It's still a db hit, but a very simple one.
