I had a go at scraping HN myself a couple of days ago (in PHP) and here's the output:

http://thequeue.org/api/frontpage.xml

http://thequeue.org/api/new.xml

http://thequeue.org/api/best.xml

The trouble is that sponsored posts, i.e. We're Hiring (YC 11) break the code. If anyone can help, there's a question on Stackoverflow about it:
