MacOSx widget

I think we need a macosx.com widget. Now it shouldn't be that hard. We just need the head board guy to give us a page that looks like this
http://www.mactechnews.de/rss.php (look at code!) I think that's all we need.

Then we should be able to reference that page via a widget and it would pull the most recent updated or new threads.

What do you all think? It'd be much like the MacTech News or XF threads widget.

yup, would be really great! And also that you select the forums that you want to watch. For example: I want to watch the Mac News & Rumors and Macosx System & Soft, but not the macosxcafé

Hummm.. I suppose that shouldn't be to hard. We'd just need a basic page for each that we could read into the widget. One page for newest (entire form) then one page for each other area (news, software, cafe, etc) Then you just choose which one you want to get info from. We just need an admin to create the pages.

I'd use it. Please, someone who can program make this widget. You'd have my gratitude.
