wow, i never even new it existed. looks like it came out in the last couple of 
weeks. geez, reading up on it, and it looks like their is some serious is 
nastiness going on in that development community. death threats and 
slander... makes me glad to be a zoper :-)

ok. here's my basic design

portal_rss_tool_thingy, which does catalog search to aggregate all the 
channels, to expose an xml-rpc api to update the channels. it also provides a 
point to provide some constraints on allowable channels, and whatever other 
things need to get hacked in to the system.

RSS Document thingy, an rss content type, parses remote syndication feeds.

RSS Item thingy, represents an individual item.

check, its easy to be zeo compatible if you ignore zeo ;-)

will do. comments on the design would be appreciated. the use of thingy in the 
names is optional ;-)
