There are 2 RSS options you can add to your website: a reader and a tool to make RSS.

The module xhdl0 is a RSS reader if you want to put headlines from other websites on yours. You can download it here: http://www.peak.ne.jp/xoops/

On this Xoops.org website you'll find a couple of module to create a RSS feed from your site: https://xoops.org/modules/repository/viewcat.php?cid=84

Also, CBB 1.14 (the replacement for NewBB) forums has rss built in, allowing users to pull rss from specific topics/forums or the whole module. Some of the News Modules also have this feature 'built in' as well.

Guess it all depends on what you would like to have syndicated and available.

Remember that allowing visitors to set up RSS feeds from your site consumes bandwidth. I have no idea how to calculate how much, but I have been advised to take this into account if a hosting service only provides a small bandwidth allowance.
