Deprecated: RSS Feeds

This is a list of RSS feeds that may be of interest to GlueX Collaborators and other members of the Hall D community.

• JLab Logbooks: HDLOG
  • Note that there is a separate feed for each log book in the system. This link is just for the Hall D Log. There is an RSS link at the bottom of each log's summary page. Look for this symbol:
  • From offsite you need your JLab username and password.
• GlueX Wiki: Recent changes
• MantisBT: Offline Problem Tracking Activity
• Subversion repositories:
  • GlueX: file check-in's
  • JLab 12 GeV: file check-in's
    • Note that the links above are for the entire repository. A separate feed exists for each node of the directory tree of the repository. These are useful if you are only interested in a subset of the directories. See the "XML" buttons on the repository browser page for links to these subsidiary feeds.
