Meh, [1] is far too heavy :-). [2] would be good, but currently it has
a bug such that displaying the posting date gives no output.
So we could use the 'service is not guaranteed and is likely to go
away' from itde.vccs.edu until the feed2js.org is working again.
Also it would be a trivial script to run on leo-editor.org... :-)

I guess I'm not sure that you can actually access the feed with js
alone, given an url like
http://groups.google.com/group/leo-editor/feed/rss_v2_0_topics.xml?num=5
you can't don an ajax fetch on it unless your script is running on
http://groups.google.com/, because of the cross domain scripting rules.
Hence the need for something like the feed2js.org service.
So, basically the example you posted is the best solution right now,
and we should try and get it into the Leo web homepage, when Edward
has time.
