Writing out a universally-parsed RSS feed
Has anyone written anything which takes the output from Mark Pilgrim’s Universal Feed Parser and writes it back out to, say, Atom, or RSS? I can’t find anything, and I don’t want to have to spend all the time that he spent understanding RSS/Atom in order to know that what I write out is valid.
That was a goal of mine ages ago, in order to write a two-parts aggregator: one part acting as a daemon would regularly fetch feeds and regurgigate them as proper Atom, the other part would then use these feeds (or any other aggregator could point to them).
The idea was to have the data not tied to a particular aggregator (I hated losing six months worth of cached items in Straw when I got a bsddb crash!).
