There are several ways to do this. One way (which I prefer) is to use
Apache Cocoon.
Here is how it will work. We will have an XSLT which will translate the
"Weekly News" XML to an RSS feed
(http://backend.userland.com/rss#whatIsRss).
Then Cocoon will use this XSLT to translate the "Weekly News" XSL to RSS.
Here is e.g. of Cocoon generating HTML (on the fly) from Docbook XML :
http://www.seagate.cc:8080/cocoon/mount/docbook/linux-faq.html
http://www.seagate.cc:8080/cocoon/mount/docbook/linux-faq.pdf
http://www.seagate.cc:8080/cocoon/mount/docbook/openjade.html
This uses Norman Walsh XSLT.
This is different from creating an RSS feed from DocBook XML, but the idea
is same.
Here is another e.g (converting RSS XML to HTML).
http://www.seagate.cc:8080/cocoon/mount/rssfeed/http://www.w3.org/2000/08/w3c-synd/home.rss
http://www.seagate.cc:8080/cocoon/mount/rssfeed/http://www.xmlhack.com/rss.php
In our case we will be converting DocBook XML to RSS.
our URL for RSS feed could look like:
http://www.seagate.cc:8080/cocoon/mount/generaterss/http://www.tldp.org/ldpwn/latest.xml
Let me know if I can clarify further. English is not my native language, so
I have trouble explaining things. :)
In Peace,

I don't know how that works, but it sounds interesting, and we have
sources in XML. What is the procedure to follow?
