352151 - [es-AR] RSS news feed for Spanish-Argentina

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: es-AR / Spanish (Argentina), defect)

Description

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

The RSS news feed for Argentinian Spanish is currently :
http://www.lanacion.com.ar/herramientas/rss/index.asp?origen=2

This feed has validity problems and has incorerect Mime type (text/html) :
http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http://www.lanacion.com.ar/herramientas/rss/index.asp?origen=2


An alternative alternative would be a good thing, including a news feed that doesn't work with Fx2 new feed handler is not so good. The webmaster at la Nacion should be contacted to fix their validity problems since this is a Tech Evangelism issue or another feed should be used.

The feed should be changed to 
http://www.clarin.com/diario/hoy/um/sumariorss.xml

This feed is completely valid:
http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.clarin.com%2Fdiario%2Fhoy%2Fum%2Fsumariorss.xml

Clarin is the most important newspaper in the country.
La Nacion is the second and the feed isn't as good as it was when it was chosen for 1.5.

Looks good to me, putting this on mic's radar.

Before we can put this live, we'd need contact information for that site and their permission, both for the traffic and to use their marks.

Clarin has an online agreement for using RSS in a website or an application:

They give links to some sites to help developers.

Marcelo,
as soon as you've received a confirmation email from them please forward it to me so I can add that to my records.
I think we're ok to close this bug though, based on what I've read in the TOS on the clarin page that Marcelo provided (thanks!)
BD is good to go with the use of clarin.com as the RSS feed
best
