datePub for Scratch RSS?
I am trying to make a pretty display for all my projects on my website, and I'm using the RSS for the project list ( http://scratch.mit.edu/feeds/getRecentUserProjects/11568 ) The problem is, that RSS has no datePub field, which I need. Is this a mistake, or did you want to cut down on database calls or something? For all that have this same problem, I made a yahoo pipes that tries to solve this: http://pipes.yahoo.com/jeratt/scratchproj (it doesn't quite work yet 
)

Oh I love Yahoo Pipes! The datePub would be the date in which the project was uploaded right? I will add it to our to do list.

Re: datePub for Scratch RSS?
In the mean time, the casual user with access a PHP server could add them manually:
Use the simpleXML parser to splice in date contents from an SQL file that you host, that has the dates. Then return this to the user, in XML format using
Code:
header('Content-Type: text/xml');Only for the advanced user that really really needs dates, but it should work.
