This is the kind of stuff that needs a forward on the planets:
From: Roberto -MadBob- Guido
This is just an update about tracker-miner-rss effort, already mentioned in this list some time ago.
Website, SVN, Last release (0.3)
Since 0.2 we (Michele and me) have just dropped dependency from rss-glib due some limitation found, and created our own Glib-oriented feeds handling library, libgrss, starting from the code of Liferea and adding nice stuffs such as a PubSub subscriber implementation. At the moment it is shipped with tracker-miner-rss itself, in the future may be splitted so to easy usage by other developers.
Next will come integration with libchamplain to describe geographic points found in geo-rss enabled feeds, integration with libedataserver to better handle “person” rappresentation (suggestions for a better PIM-like shared library with useful objects?), and perhaps a first full-featured feed reader using Tracker as backend.
Enjoy :-)
Roberto is doing a demo on FSter at FOSDEM during our presentation. My role in the presentation will be light this year. I decided to give most of the talk away to Rob Taylor and Roberto. I will probably demo Debarshi Ray‘s Solang and if time permits his work on the Nautilus integration. Regretfully Debarshi can’t come and so he asked me to do the demo.
why is this the way to go, and not the other way around?
i mean building a miner for liferea.
I can see though, that now you can create different frontends/mashup for the data. so maybe I probably answered it myself
@mike: Maybe you probably did ;)? But I’ll let Roberto answer.
Sorry for not keeping rss-glib up to date; i ran into limitations in libmrss myself and wasn’t up for re-writing it from scratch without it.
Cheers,
