[Rt-devel] Advice sought on RT plugin development.

[Bradley Bell]

I made a similar mod on my local installation, adding the ability to
display any number of arbitrary RSS feeds on MyRT. I had to override
Prefs/MyRT.html, so I don't think there's any way to do it without a
patch.
One callback in Prefs/MyRT.html giving access to the @items array should do it.
