It is possible to create an RSS feed of any saved filterset. What this means is that you can save a query (for instance, "What contexts have been assigned to Stuart Eve") - and then Subscribe to the RSS export for that saved filterset - which will update your RSS reader with the latest results.

This is quite easy to set-up, but there are some additions you will need to make to your settings file. This is simply a matter of adding an extra array into your export_conf_array in each of the mod_settings:

 $RSS_short_desc = $conf_field_short_desc;
 $RSS_short_desc['op_tag_RSSExt'] = 'description';
 $cxt_export_conf = 
   array(
   'CSV' =>
       array(
           'op_field_delimiter' => ',',
           'op_text_delimiter' => ' ',
           'export_fields' =>
               array(
                   $conf_field_issuedon,
                   $conf_field_definition,
               )
           ),
   'XMLItemList' =>
       array('empty'
   ),
   'XMLItem' =>
       array('empty'
   ),
   'RSSExt' =>
       array(
           'export_fields' =>
               array(
                   $RSS_short_desc
               )
           ),
   
 );
