Hi folks, I know there is a place somewhere on the Calibre site to post custom recipes that people created, but I haven't found it. The following two I thought may be useful to some. They're not fancy and are the same kind anyone could make with a few minutes of effort since they don't make use of any fancy Python scripting, however I thought some may still find them useful just so they don't have to bother tracking down the RSS feeds:

Jewish Daily Forward:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1281086122(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'Jewish Daily Forward'
oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100

feeds = [(u'News', u'http://www.forward.com/rss/news/'), (u'Editorial', u'http://www.forward.com/rss/editorial/'), (u'Letters', u'http://www.forward.com/rss/letters/'), (u'The Blogs', u'http://blogs.forward.com/rss/'), (u'Arts and Culture', u'http://www.forward.com/rss/arts-and-culture/'), (u'Books', u'http://www.forward.com/rss/books/'), (u'Looking Back', u'http://www.forward.com/rss/looking-back/')]

LGBT News Update (Aggregates from several different free sources:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1281086687(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'LGBT News Updates'
oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100

feeds = [(u'The Advocate', u'http://www.advocate.com/rssFeeds.aspx?fid=7'), (u'Washington Blade', u'http://www.washingtonblade.com/feed/'), (u'Lambda Literary Book Reviews', u'http://feeds.feedburner.com/lambdaliterary_org'), (u'Out There Travel News', u'http://feeds.feedburner.com/OutThere-GaycitiesTravelBlog?format=xml')]




And anyone with more programming experience than I have (I've dabbled and I suppose I could figure out how to use Python, but never have done so before and expect it would take me a while to do), on the LGBT news, the Lambda Literary and Out There seem to download with additional, unneeded formatting (well, Lambda Literary does. Out There just appends the comment section of the blog which is pretty useless), so if someone wants to try to clean it up, I'd be very grateful.

In any event, hope these are helpful to some of you.

Eric
