Sure! I just did a quick read through of the url you posted and it looks to me that you've started with what I want. I am very interested in getting this to work within the Zope framework as well.. with Sql support etc. as I am doing a project that would require "robotic" features! ;) Don't we just hate manual labour. ;)
Well, the weakiest point in my programs is that these programs operate on the whole tree at once. This isn't a problem for my small database of URLs - there are about 3000 URLs in my bookmarks; but certainly will bring problems for those who would like to have a bigger DB. What I feel is that Zope is not by itself the way to go. It is hard to store the entire URLs tree in Zope and operate via XML-RPC or whatever. I thing much better approach will be to store the tree in separate database (SQL, e.g.) and connect both the robot and Zope to the DB. While we are on subjject - I think about version 4 of the project. I want to define clear APIs for database plugins (including the possibility to operate on a part of DB, down to one URL at at time :) and robots; and remove writers plugins entirely - writers are just storage managers, actually. It is interesting, whow in time Andrew Kuchling announced Oedipus. His announcement came few days after I realized that I need API to operate on a part of DB and started to think about version 4. http://oedipus.sourceforge.net/ We need a DB plugin to connect my robot to Oedipus; and Zope Product...
