Hey all you people who want me to rework Feed on Feeds to use Universal Feed Parser: guess what! It’s done! But not by me! Ludovico Magnocavallo started with FoF, completely disassembled it, and then put it back together in a totally new form: SimpleAggregator 1.0. He’s refactored the code, integrated a template system, redone the UI, and through the use of UFP, now supports every feed format ever invented.
I haven’t actually run this new aggregator, because I don’t quite have the technology to line up all the requirements (All the requirements of FoF + InnoDB + PEAR + Python + some Python modules + whatever the requirements of UFP are). And that is the reason why I’m not going to go this way in FoF: I want to remain 100% PHP and keep the external requirements down to a minimum. But for those of you who already have really well configured servers, you might want to check it out.

Steve, thanks for mentioning my work! Your excellent work on FoF got me started onthis thing.

Quite interesting! I’ve been wondering if someone would write an FoF-ish Python prog to use UFP, but I guess this is another way to go.
