Well, why not support switching from file to http? At least it could be
made an option... I don't use a "generic" homepage, I'm using a homepage
to join together some specific articles (from the eclipse.org site)
which I hand-choose, edit the homepage to have exactly the text I want
(author, date, summary, etc), and this can't be done with categories.

In case this behaviour wasn't a deliberate decision, I can have a look
at it. I've never looked at JPluck's source, but Java is my game :)

Thanks,
