Gotta feature request: user configurable RSS feeds in personal rooms. I want to feet http://www.mountwashington.org/weather/comments/rss.xml but I really doubt anyone is interested besides me... except maybe Aahz ;)

Loanshark, you could probably use that for rss-bookmarks too. the rss headers just need to look a bit different.

I've got it set up as a LiveBookmark in Firefox, but IMO LiveBookmarks suck and Citadel provides a superior user interface to RSS. RSS is a freakin' newswire. I want it to show up the way a newsfax would: in my inbox. It should come to me, I shouldn't have to go to it. LiveBookmarks

See they appear instantly under the bookmark button, but that means I have to go into the button and deliberately check for updates to the RSS feed. What I really want are RSS feeds in my email or in Citadel (because I am already checking Citadel as often as I check email.) If nobody

It does that, but as far as I know it's not user configurable (by a non-BBS-sysop user.)

It has nothing to do with POP3 or IMAP... we already have support for RSS feeds into rooms, and we already have per-user private rooms, I think it would be nice for the combination of the two to be user-configurable.

hm, i think you don't get me right. this is something, that would a user to allow polling. whether you add a pop3 poll or rss poll, if you add an interface to do stuff like that, you should do it like that you can do it with other polls too...perhaps a way to bridge user configurations into files

Enough already. I do think it's a good idea, and we should put it in the plan. I am envisioning a future version of the Citadel system in which the functionality currently provided by rss2ctdl is embedded directly into the server. This would of course require that we make a decision about wh

IMO, NunniCMAX is unacceptable for the simple reason that it appears to have no webpage and no information available except for mailing list posts that are all written in Italian.

On the other hand, NunniMCAX doesn't handle XML namespaces, requiring us to handle it ourselves. Since we definitely need support for namespaces, this would be a mark against NunniMCAX, provided that some other parser exists that *does* handle namespaces without any extra effort on our part.

Heh, you're one step ahead of me. I was about to post a similar reference to Expat. Expat also has the advantage of being a bit more lightweight than libxml2. And of course libxml2 has a bit of an association with the Bad People so I'm more hesitant to use it.

I would regard namespaces as a must-have feature and schema validation is a nice-to-have. You can do namespaces without schema validation but you can't do schema validation without namespaces. You can parse documents that declare a schema without doing schema validat

I really don't care all that much whether it's libxml2 or expat. Pick one and I'll get RSS into Citadel sometime the following weekend.
