I wrote a script to export PyDS posts from the metakit database to an 
atom feed.  Atom seems to support pretty much everything PyDS stores.  I 
also want to get the comments off a PyCS server (another metakit 
database, I think?), but I haven't figured out how to represent comments 
in atom.  Also, I suspect the PyCS database will take at least a little 
more digging than PyDS's (which was pretty simple, once I figured out 
just a little bit about metakit).  If you use ReST, your atom feed will 
contain that source instead of HTML.  Which is what I wanted, but most 
atom readers won't understand it.

Anyway, if anyone wants to use it, it's at 
svn://colorstudy.com/home/ianb/pyds_to_atom.py , or
