I did the happy dance today when I discovered another business use for RSS that has already been deployed in the wild. A recent version of Jira (think Bugzilla, but cooler and only free for open source projects) provides RSS feeds for any issue in the system.

For example, here’s a Jira issue opened in the Jetspeed 2 project where they have decided to use the Rome framework for RSS:

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-191?page=history

The little [xml] link at the top of the left sidebar gives the RSS feed for that issue so that you can be notified when the issue is updated. Very nice.

I use Jira at work, so I’m pretty jazzed to have it already available.
