Then that's the URL that should appear as the RSS feed in the HTML header, not this one: `<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS Feed" href="/forum/timeline.rss" />` If I tell a newsreader, such as Feedly, to subscribe to this website, it will look up that URL and use it as the feed. I don't care whether this forum is based on a SCM system; that's an interesting implementation detail, but it means nothing to me as a reader. It's a forum, and the RSS feed should reflect that by presenting a feed of the forum threads. --Jens
