This feed seems to have encoding issues. Right now, it displays empty.

The time information on the feed seems to be off, too.

For more information, see http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.azadiyawelat.com%2Fcache%2Frss20.xml.

Can someone reach out to our contact there an evangelize for some fixes?

Hi, I have added the Kurdish l10n to CC. 

The validator may display errors, however the feed is perfectly usable. I am using it on an daily basis. And this comes a bit late, doesn't it?

When looking at the feed in the feed preview, it comes out empty. So while this may work for the livebookmarks, it doesn't work in Firefox per se.

And yes, I'm late on this. I didn't expect to see technical problems in feeds, sadly, the queue is full of those, as I found out.

We'll figure out if we need to update the policy on this, and its documentation.

The newspaper's site has been redesigned. The new URL of the RSS feed is:
http://www.azadiyawelat.com/rss.aspx

The validation is positive:
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.azadiyawelat.com%2Frss.aspx

Could this be implemented in Firefox 3.0.2 ?

r-. The feed doesn't work without azadiyawelat cookies, if you don't visit the site before you visit the feed, the feed comes up empty. Which might be beneficial to pass the validation webservice.

That the title of the feed is "Articles about ASP.NET, C# and development with Visual Studio" doesn't really make a lot of sense either.

Axel's concerns from comment 5 are still valid, just checked. I'll contact [e-mail] to see if they can fix that.

Comment 7

[Erdal Ronahi]

The feed at azadiyawelat proved to be too unsteady, doesn't work anymore at all. New suggestion is Firat News Agency. URL of the feed is http://ku.firatnews.com/rss.php

Second alternative would be Voice of America Kurdish news: http://www1.voanews.com/templates/Articles.rss?sectionPath=/kurdi/news

What's the current state in this bug?

Comment 10

[Erdal Ronahi]

Well, my personal preference would be the the URL in comment 7. Will get Amed to vote on that issue.

Comment 11

[Amed Çeko Jiyan]

My preferences is also comment 7 (http://ku.firatnews.com/rss.php)

We're not shipping Kurdish (ku) anymore. We'll need to review the whole build in case someone picks up the existing translation.
