Hi Brett, I guess I could use osmosis to update a local copy of planet and then teach myself some SQL so I could make my own atom feeds - which does sound quite fun - but it would probably be even more likely to make my brain explode than wrestling with SAX ... or trying to reverse engineer universal feedparser.
I suspect that as the project gets bigger and bigger more and more of us "non-devs" will want access to some sort of easily parsed data.
