Newswires: Updates and improvements

Updated 4 Nov 2008 – see below

We have a lot of newswires, in many languages, and in different formats. Nearly all of them work fine but some require changes. I’ll be listing some of the things I’m fixing here:

  1. Norwegian RSS: Now fixed to render correctly in iso-8859-1 (not Unicode). The same change is applied to the French and Dutch newswires today. All would have been showing the wrong dates for news stories – now fixed.
  2. Wal-Mart JS: today fixed to use new database
  3. McDonalds JS: now fixed to use new database – used only on McJobs.org (not yet live)
  4. Nestle, Unilever JS: Created in early October at the request of the IUF and used on their sites
  5. Women’s news in Finnish: Updated to use the new database – used by SAK, the Finnish national trade union center

More soon …
