I think this is really important technology. I will be glad to work with you on getting it into OFBiz. It ties in to other work that is being done, so I am sure it will get a good review.

Hi, Over the last few weeks I've been doing some work on a site that will be gathering RSS feeds from other sites and displaying the headlines accordingly. I have used something called Rome which is a set of RSS/Atom tools and is apparently Apache licensed https://rome.dev.java.net/. Integration with OFBiz was easy - but my work on this really is in a proof of concept phase. I have taken RSS feeds from other sites and displayed them on an OFBiz site - that's about it. My plan is to extend the Content Manager to manage these feeds so it is easy to choose and change which feeds are being displayed. Ultimately - I would also like to publish RSS feeds from the CMS so people can be kept up to date with Forum/Blog posts, news etc. Has anyone already thought about this or started work on this already? Is the Rome license correct (it seems by far the most comprehensive set of tools) or should I be looking for something else? If this seems like a useful feature for the project I'll put this in Jira.
