OTW RSS has been very unreliable. Originally it was Drupal's fault--I was once a volunteer with shared responsibility for such things, long years ago--but Drupal itself isn't so fragile anymore (ETA and I see that the site currently uses WP). +1 to melannen's suggestion above that if RSS is centered upon, a volunteer be tasked with keeping an eye on it.

That said, I've been reading this manual news account since it was begun (though I can write RSS XML from scratch) because Dreamwidth itself is pretty reliable. As a place to keep a record of posts, it doesn't hide things capriciously via algorithm. If y'all quit mirroring content here manually as a result of limited staff resources, I'll just stop reading OTW news. Thanks for the effort thus far, regardless.
