which would spit out an rss feed (just xml) with FHG name = title, FHG link = link, FHG description = description. The affiliates could just write a scheduled task to access that and automatically update their FHG databases.

Seems like the standard format for rss xml matches nicely to current FHG gallery formats.

Anyway.
Dunno why I just wrote all that shit in this thread.
My apologies.
i use RSS a lot. but i think the problem with the model you propose is that sponsors don't update their RSS feed lists every day (something you would need).
