Hmm... RSS 0.91 is not the best format for this because the items with each
channel have no time stamps so ordering is problematic, any other format
with publication date or timestamps is OK though.
Haven't checked 0.92 to see if it has timestamp support

Actually this can be done with the current Jetspeed :
- define an OCS feed with all the channels you want to agregate
named myfeeds.ocs
- define a new protletregistry entry:
<portlet type="ref" paranet="Cocoon" name="MyFeeds">
<url>/content/myfeeds.ocs</url>
<parameter name="stylesheet" name="mystylesheet.xsl">
</portlet>
by using the document(...) function in mystylesheet.xsl you can
agregate all the referred URLs and output whatever you like...
Implementation is left as an exercise to the reader... (you can of
course contribute this to the project) :P
