Codeplex the way you want it
First of all...
When it's raining on our parade everyone tosses their arms up and complains.
Point is, Codeplex is a lot like a Sunny day and we're enjoying the Parade -> Microsoft+Community
You already use http://www.codeplex.com/ ...Right?
Have you noticed the RSS feeds have improved?
Pull them in with your favorite RSS reader and you now have a description with each new and newly released project on Codeplex. Nice.
And here's a great tip from Sara Ford:
How to subscribe to the list of CodePlex projects using a specific tag
Currently, we don’t have any UI that exposes these RSS feeds.
We’ve thought about creating a page that says “design your own RSS feed here.”
But until then, here’s the RSS feed to subscribe to a specific tag:
http://www.codeplex.com/rss.ashx?behavior=bytag&tagName=<tagname>
And another fun one is the most downloaded project RSS feed
http://www.codeplex.com/rss.ashx?behavior=topdownloaded

Thanks Sara! Awesome stuff.
All the best,
