gldnspud: those are ambitious plans but it sounds very cool. I hope
you're doing something attainable, though -- we've had plenty of people
who began major plans for stuff on top of Citadel that were never
finished. I want to see your project succeed, so make sure you set
attainable goals!
Once you get there, of course, we will trumpet about CivisLink in a big
way on the Citadel web site.
IO: the functionality of rss2ctdl definitely belongs *in* the server.
Sites should be able to configure feed pulls right from the room admin
screens, and the received data ought to be submitted directly into the
message store without having to be batch-submitted through the networker.
The libxml2 dependency is the primary reason I haven't done this myself.
If you're going to do it, my suggestion would be that it should be one of
those things where if libxml2 is not found or is not usable, a Citadel
server gets built that is simply missing that function but still does
everything else. I would imagine we'll need libxml2 for other things in
the future, so we might as well begin testing for it...
