Feeding Tags into a Wiki? HELP!
The wiki some of us started to aggregate resources on distributed communities of practice is slowly growing at http://www.voght.com/cgi-bin/pywiki?DistributedCopsLinks
Mark Radford made a suggestion that makes sense to me, but I don't know if/how to implement it. He wrote in the wiki:
"can I suggest getting an rss feed of the del.icio.us tag for COP, fed into this page, it could be a dynamically updating list of links that people from across the blogosphere feel are relevant to CoPs - Mark Ranford"
Now I know I may have been dissing tags a few posts ago, but... Any suggestions? Can someone help with this? Maybe furl tags as well?

a couple ways to do it.
some wikis have native rss support.
some of them let you embed html. you can run an rss-to-javascript kind of thing (I use it on my blog for sidebar content).
Nancy,
I don't know what's possible within your wiki, but here is an example of how del.icio.us-RSS can be used in TWiki. It does become a bit mechanical, I think.
Here is an example of how del.icio.us feeds and other stuff can be integrated in a sidebar.
I run a feed2js service. You're welcome to use it, but I don't think it can be used within your wiki ...

RSS Digest might also be able to help you -- depending on the possibilities/capabilities of your wiki.
I think the state of the art way to do it is for the group to pick a unique del.icio.us tag for gathering links, and move to a wiki that supports rss inclusion. (xwiki.org is one free hosted solution that does it)
If we had a feed splicing service we could make it linklogging-tool-independent and invitation-only (thus spam-proof) thus:

(is it too dense?)
