SourceForge project statistics as RSS

Update, July 2011: SourceForge has changed their site structure and layout in the meantime, and this service is no longer operational. I do not plan to update it. If you are interested in resurrecting it in some form, you can find the source code (PHP) linked from here on my blog.

This little service extracts project activity statistics from SourceForge stats pages (Example) and converts them into an RSS feed. This gives you a convenient way of tracking downloads, page views and other useful information for your SourceForge projects. The image below shows a feed in the NewsFire RSS reader.

To get a feed for your SourceForge project, enter your project name in this form:

SourceForge project name:

Note: This service is experimental.
