I've been told that chandler thinks the NYTimes RSS feed is bogus, and
I've seen problems with other feeds as well. We are using an old
version of a 3rd party feedparser. I hope to upgrade to the newest
version early next week.
That bug is:

Also, Andi pointed out that RSS Feeds should load in the background,
not on the UI thread:

Last night I checked in the bulk of what ZaoBao will be for 0.5 - you
can now add new RSS channels via File -> New Item -> New ZaoBao
channel. You'll be prompted for an RSS feed, and a new collection will
appear in the sidebar.
Whats significant about this for 0.5 is that it treats ZaoBao not as a
special application with Chandler, but as another data type that is
"plugged in" to our existing framework and leverages as much of the
existing UI as possible to manage its data.
When you create a channel, it creates a sort of "smart collection" in
the sidebar, uses the existing summary view, and uses Bryan's detail
view framework to build RSS-specific UI - the only stuff I had to
hard code into Chandler proper was the menuitem in the File menu! (and
I've already talked with John a little about how we might fix that too)
Try a few:
http://slashdot.org/index.rss
http://wiki.osafoundation.org/twiki/bin/view/Chandler/WebRss?skin=rss
http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml
At the moment, the feeds are only updated at startup, but it works much
the same as other RSS readers in that it now brings in new RSS feed
items and does not delete the old items that were there. It also goes
back to using the HTML display, and I've added a "more..." link at the
bottom of every feed.
Questions/Comments? let me know...
Issues/problems? file a bug against me...
