bug 805100 - optimizations on RSS feed

Richard,
So I've added a basic RSS feed. 

There are actually 3 feeds:
https://air-dev.allizom.org/feed/  (both public and private)
https://air-dev.allizom.org/feed/public/
https://air-dev.allizom.org/feed/private/

Only the first one is linked to in the HTML source looking like this:
<link rel="alternate" title="AirMozilla RSS" href="/feed/" type="application/rss+xml">

What I did was really basic. I made the content basic HTML containing a thumbnail and the short description (with any additional) HTML stripped. 

Lastly, the feed is quite expensive so I put a serious cache on top of it. It's capped to 1 hour and there is no invalidation at this point. Meaning that you'll simply have to wait an hour once an event is scheduled and archived. 

Please test. Feel free to reopen this bug if you like.

Works fine.

I'll dig through the specs for Roku and Podcasts to see if we can spec public feeds for those.   Those would probably benefit from sorting by category or tag (or both) is that possible?

RSS feeds are very chronological based. The date is important. Or, perhaps you meant to say *filter* by category or tag. 

If you need that, let's file a new bug.
