First I am not sure of the software release since I am seeing this on the current D.O site. I am assuming that D.O is using the current 5.x release.

I have been adding RSS/XML feeds to my news reader so that I can keep track of issues as they come up/are resolved with projects I am following.

When there are already issues in the queue to track, things work fine. I get the little RSS icon in the lower left-hand side of the page(under the issue list) and can add it to my news reader no problem.

But if the issue queue is empty [maybe perfect code :-) or more likely a new project] there is no RSS icon to give me a RSS feed url to follow new issues. I obviously don't want to add an issue to just get the RSS feed, but would love to be able to see how a new modules being handled when it comes out.

BTW, Thanks for all your work. I'm looking forward to the new version of Project you guys are working on.

An example (at the moment, issues may come soon) with no issues to track is FeedAPI Comments

I'm not sure if this is by design or not.

However, it's pretty easy to figure out what the feed URL would be, if there were issues. For the feedapi_comments project, it should be:

http://drupal.org/project/issues/rss?projects=314964&states=1,16,8,13,14...

Just change the number after projects= to the nid of the project. To get the nid of the project, you can hover over the "View all releases" link of a project. That URL contains the nid of the project node.

Not by design, at least not as far as I know (and I don't care enough about this to do a full blown CVS investigation to find out exactly). ;) But, issue.inc, project_issue_query_result() -- it only adds the feed URL thingy if there are results in the query, which seems a little dumb to me. I wouldn't be opposed to fixing this in 5.x if someone wants to roll a patch, but I agree it's minor, so I won't be working on it myself...

Thanks for the work around. I was thinking of seeing if that would work but hadn't had a chance to check yet. But I don't think that a newbie would notice the pattern. So while definitely not a priority item, it would be nice.
