Journal jdavidb's Journal: Watching people die 4
It's a little bit morbid, but I've been scraping Wikipedia to create a feed that gives me names of the recently deceased.

What is the data source for this?
How did you aggregate it into a feed?
P.S. Thanks, I think I'll subscribe to this.

I used Perl with HTML::Tree to scrape the page on Wikipedia. I wrote my own custom parser for the data within the page. I used XML::Atom to generate an output feed. I then gave the URL of that feed to feedburner as input.
Glad to hear it's useful to some folks! :)
