RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is hybrid between e-mail, Internet News, and web-pages.

A program called an RSS Feed Aggregator (since they pull together various feeds, whatever the user chooses), or RSS Reader, is configured to poll different RSS feeds, which are like web-pages with a standard format (XML). The feeds describe postings (blogs, articles, etc.) from a source (one or more writers, usually). When a new item is posted, it will show up in the feed when polled by the feed reader, and the client's aggregator will see that it is new content and alert the client that there is something new on one of his feeds.

For example, a feed to get the Reform News items posted to VoteKansas.org is:
http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/ taxonomy/term/25+23+79+81+24+80+82+20+21+42+26+27+22/0/feed

or all items as they are added to VoteKansas.org:
http://votekansas.no-ip.org/reform/f/rss.xml

So, instead of going to a web-site on a regular basis to check for new articles, you can pick the feeds that interest you, and you will be notified when new items are there. But please do visit VoteKansas.org to sign up and contribute ideas!

[RSS Items on VoteKansas.org]
[Topics]

I have started some top level topic heading articles, each of which is intended to be a topical start page for issues, people, resources, etc. And they can be viewed as a list of topics.

Each topic page will have links to items on VoteKansas.org that relate to the topic, and some pertinent links to external information to serve as a research tool to assist others in becoming more familiar with the topic and even to make further items on that topic on VoteKansas.org.
