Interestingly the system sends me an email on any day when new items are added to my RSS feed! Trying to decide if this a good thing or just irritating. I am leaning towards it being irritating. The email says (amongst a lot of other things) "Your *NEW* opened RSS channel: PAEDS TEST contains 28 new documents, which will be available for 30 days. There are a total of 28 documents found in this channel." So - I had better check back within 30 days if I don't want to miss out! A shame as it means a Mysyndicaat type calendar format would only cover a month. Ho hum. I am playing with RSS feeds from Datastarweb at the moment.
