RSS Feed for Q&A

In an example of Hate-Driven Development*, I got frustrated with the Q&A system last year and built a script last year which scrapes the FIRST Q&A and publishes all answered questions to an RSS feed.

My use case is that I want to be notified of and read all the questions that have been answered. I used to just log into the system every day and subscribe to all of the new questions, but the e-mail updates seemed to stop working partway through last season.

Here it is, in case anyone else finds it useful: http://static.patfairbank.com/frcqa.rss
