Experiments with a feedburner-detour for feeds

Mattis Manzel:
Experiments. Instead of including the different feeds for the odd-wiki-center-en directly into the soup group - odd-wiki-center-en I take the detour via google feedburner. I hope that the feeds update better, as feeds from oddmuse into soup.io directly tend to get stuck. Sometimes at least. Dunno really, therefore experiments.

An advantage is that feedburner provides extensive statistics, so I can see where the feeds are read and how often. Another advantage is that for example the url for the talk-feed is now http://feeds.feedburner.com/Odd/OddWikiCenterEn/Talk instead of the slightly frightening http://oddwiki.org/odd/OddWikiCenter?action=rss&full=1&days=90&match=%5E%5Cd%5Cd%5Cd%5Cd-%5Cd%5Cd-%5Cd%5Cd.*Talk. Rather minor advantages, admitted.
Let’s first see if it updates fine and how much delay it adds to the refresh.
