Managing RSS Feeds From The Content Manager

[rhowell]

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.
 
Kind Regards,

Licence seems OK at 1st glance (ASL2).
Did not check all CVS repository, only seen that licence header is not updated and a "Copyright 2004 Sun Microsystems, Inc."

Just recently I thought it would be cool to provide Atom/RSS feeds for
new/changed orders, requirements etc.- so yes, I think thats a good idea.

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.

We are in the process of putting RSS into the Content and Work Effort areas.  We will be letting you guys know as it progresses.

Cheers,

Tim

Rupert,

It sounds like there is some interest in this among the community,  
and I know we have had some clients express interest in it here and  
there.

Is the work you have done something you could contribute back to the  
project? Even if it is fairly rough and low-level we could certainly  
put it in as it would be a good starting point.

David,

I'd be happy to. I'd like to give it a few more hours work and tidy up
then I'll contribute what I have. It is embarrassingly rough at the
moment.
I should have time tomorrow.
I'll add the thoughts I had while I was initially working on this to
Jira tomorrow as well.

Rupert
