RSS Feeds for Plugin Cafe

After seeing a request in the forums, I put together some quick feed functionality for Maxon's Plugin Cafe.
Two types of feeds are provided.
Most Recent offers the 6 freshest topics in the forum.
ThreadFollow gives the ability to subscribe to a specific thread, and gives you all posts contained in the thread.

ThreadFollow:


Here is your feed:    -No URL Loaded-

How

These feeds are created by scraping the forum pages with PHP using cURL and regular expressions. I also used the eac_curl wrapper class from Kevin Burkholder. I plan on making the source available after I tweak a few more things. The "Most Recent" feed just pulls from the "Latest Forum Posts" box on the main page and provides links to each topic. The "ThreadFollow" feed parses entire topics (including multi-page topics) and gives back authors, descriptions, dates, and links. There are probably bugs that need to be worked out and some extra testing that needs to be done - if you stumble upon any bugs, please let me know and I will fix it as soon as I can.

Why

I put this together because I asked a question the other day at plugin cafe, got two immediate answers (including a full code sample), and I wanted to contribute back to the community.
