Well, I wanted a Radius tag I could use to include RSS feeds on my site  
(still under development). I couldn’t find an extension that worked the  
way I wanted it to with 0.6.1, so I wrote my own. Now, I’m sharing it  
with the group. Hope you find it useful!

From the README:

= FeedReader

Created by: Will G.  
version: 0.1

Requires the following gems:

- open-uri
- hoe
- hpricot
- simple-rss
- feed-normalizer

The FeedReader extension allows you to create feeds that you can display  
on you site. The Feed’s XML is cached for a variable amount of time  
(configurable per-feed)

Adds a tab to the Admin page for Feed Readers. Pretty straight forward.  
Once you create a feed, you can add it to your page using the following  
syntax:

\<r:feedreader:list name=“name of some feed” /\>

No tests yet, and no svn yet either (yes, I know, I’m evil).

Question? Comments? Let me know!
