Hi kids,

I’m looking to install a web-based RSS & Atom aggregator for a project  
I’m doing in March. The ideal system would meet a few requirements,  
though of course I’ve got plenty of time to bang around under the hood  
and add what’s missing:

- easy to customize the design
- supports both RSS & Atom
- full browseable archives

There appear to be two such projects on Rubyforge that are fairly  
mature–rubric & rPlanet–but I don’t think they meet all these  
features, and at any rate I’d love to hear from their developers or  
from people who’ve tried to use them. There’s also FeedOnFeeds, and I  
have some experience working with it after doing a wierd multi-user  
ReBlog install last year, but it’s (shudder) PHP.

Any input would be welcome. Thanks!

f.

There’s my Syndication module, on RubyForge, which parses both RSS and  
Atom into handy Ruby objects…
