[Zope-CMF] using news feed system.

What kind of data sources are you looking at?  RSS is great, as a way of
syndicating links, but not much more... what kind of data are you trying to
import?  It has to have some sort of format and you have to have some way of
reading this.

To my knowledge, there is nothing general purpose that will do this for you;
if you are trying to populate links to offsite items, you will likely need
to find an RSS module for Python, write an external method that uses it to
get a list, and another script to invoke the factory for the content type
you are trying to use; on top of that, if you need to scrape/access data
from the pages/items those links refer to, you have yet another task.

Hi all,

Can some one give me some pointers on setting up a system to use news feed
fast and easly !
i.e to be able to have news in my site using the news feed(rss) concept
without much complexity.
It would be great if we could have some documentation on this!

Thanks,
Ciji Isen
