US and UK Coast Guards popped straight into our forums? (And anywhere else in the world too)

A couple of people have asked could we do it - what do you all think?

It would be based on RSS feeds that they publish and might cover anything form latest standards and procedures to ships that are sinking or have been found.

Sounds interesting...

Why not... Is the pocket pc UI still in the works?

Unless you can find somebody to filter them for rebreather or at least diving specific most of it will be noise.

One of the good things about Rebreather World is that it is a low noise site.
People don't tell jokes, go on about the cute thing their kids did, complain about their job...
New posts is usable where on some 'diving' sites it isn't.

The MCA in the UK have quite a good webpage. The Prosecutions section is always worth a giggle.

Yes, I agree. And let's keep it that way...

Quality is always better than quantity!... unless we are talking about money...

Please no, I've seen this elsewhere and if you use the new posts feature it can be really irritating when they've had a heavy day.

I also sit in the no camp. On a couple of forums I frequent the rss feeds take more wading through than the posts.
