Documentation: Feeds (RSS, iCal, Atom)

A "feed" for an organisation is generally one of the following:

Events related to the organisation.
News items from and about the organisation (This does not include sites which provide an actual news service). E.g. Vice Chancellor opens new building.
Notices from the organsiation. E.g. Building 23 will be closed on 4th May for essential maintenance.

NB. iCalendar data is probably not going to be news or notices, but please still mark it as events for easy discovery.
