NZGovtFeeds output, what should we develop?

The list of official RSS feeds from New Zealand Government agencies currently "exports" useing a few online methods such but the goal of NZGovtFeeds is to show the many ways that these feeds can be used including mashups, widgets/gadgets, smart phones ... anything.

What should we "show off" next?

RSS titles are not always clear

There are a lot of NZ Government RSS feeds that have useless titles such as "Latest News" and "Updates".

We suspect this is due to an inward view on the information and the feeds are designed by people that only work in the one place and to them it is obvious - not thinking of the reader. It could also be due to limitations on the Web CMS ... your thoughts.

Missing NZ Government Agency Feed

If you have an official New Zealand Government agency feed that is missing from the list (view the OPML file) please add it as a comment here ...
