Filed http://trac.openplans.org/melkjug/ticket/361 on the 0.5.1. To
me it looks like the front-end request times out and does not
show an error. I think I can fairly quickly get it to update the
first few feeds in the request and offload the remainder of the work
to the minibrain for background processing.

I tried importing the attached opml to a demo jug as the anonymous
user a couple times. The first time, after a couple minutes of the
bouncing waiting jug I tried refreshing, and the feeds that had
showed up in the sidebar were gone. I switched to another browser
(to get a new session) and tried again with the same opml, and this
time left the bouncing waiting jug going for half an hour. When I
came back it was still going, but when I hit refresh it actually
retained the feeds in the sidebar as I expected it to the first
time, and by this time it had some articles to show me.
While we should ultimately show incomplete results progressively
while melkjug process the feeds in the OPML, in the meantime would
it be worth tossing up a special message in the background of the
reader if the user tries an OPML import along the lines of
"importing feeds, sit tight or try refreshing the page in a few"?

Hi Paul,
I agree it does need more than a little work. I believe it will go
off and try to make sure it has all those feeds fetched immediately
which is tantamount to a freeze for even a moderately long list of
things it hasn't seen before. We should be doing them progressively
and showing incomplete results along the way / some status for the
ones that are not yet complete. I am also in strong agreement that
the sidebar is unworkably cluttered with more than a few feeds.
If you have the inclination, it would be helpful to know if it shows
any results if you return to http://melkjug.org/tryit a bit later.
Thanks for your input, I hope we can deliver something that is more
in line with your expectations soon :) If you are interested in
following our progress, please check out the project website at http://melkjug.openplans.org
Thanks again,

Its not obvious what I'm supposed to do once I've imported my OPML.
The main section still tells me to add news sources, and I just end
up with a MASSIVE list of subscriptions on the sidebar that I can't
seem to do anything with.
Maybe I have to signup for it to work? Who knows. All I know is I'm
not signing up for something that doesn't seem to work right. You
need to rethink how the import OPML experience should work.
