Abstract
In this work we present a prototype system aimed at extracting contents from online communities discussions and publishing them through aggregated RSS feeds.
The major foreseeable impact of this project to the Community Informatics field will be helping people to manage the complexity intrinsic in dealing with the huge amount of dynamic information produced by communities, in particular, keeping up with the evolution of several simultaneous discussions/information sources.
A special version of the Dynamo system, which is described here, was deployed to endow RSS channels to the forum of the Milan Community Network (RCM).
