[Geowanking] GeoRSS (and PhotoRSS) clients list anywhere?

[Barry Hunter]

I have extended the feedcreator class from here:
http://www.bitfolge.de/rsscreator-en.html

to be able to output GeoRSS (amongst a number of different fields - even KML 
for Google Earth, with just a change of the format param!)

See the forum post I made on the creators Forum:
http://phpbb.bitfolge.de/viewtopic.php?t=246
which includes example code on how to use it.

There is a also the link there to reach the latest version from our CVS...

Demo here:

Does anyone have PHP code for generating GeoRSS from MySQL data? I
definitely don't want to reinvent the wheel.

Basically, trying to convert shelters.org (the Homeless Shelters link)
into map form....
http://apps.grassroots.org/shelter_links/

I'm not yet sure of the best way to do that.

Here's a start, but really want a bunch of shelters on the map, and
not just one...
