#26 Support Categories For Feed Organizations

[Morbus Iff]

AmphetaDesk should support categories for feeds so that
they may be better organized ("technical", "politics", etc.).
I've chatted previously about my ideas of it here: http://
sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1726994
but this should be re-examined. A number of other readers
are supporting categories within their OPML files, so however
they're doing it should be the method to madness in
AmphetaDesk as well.

I'm actually working on a patch for this right now. I'm
running an MT weblog and wanted to use the MTOutliner plugin
for automatic, categorized blogrolling.

I misread the feature description. I'm currently working on
user-assigned categories for the RSS feeds.

Do you have an example of a newsfeed that uses categories?

User-assigned categories for the ITEMS of an RSS feed (ie.,
this ITEM from BLOG was given the category of THIS by
CREATOR) or user-assigned categories for subscriptions (ie.
user of AmphetaDesk assigned THIS subscription a category of
THAT)? The second ideal is what this tracker is for, so your
question of "a newsfeed [example] that uses categories" is
confusing. As for categories within an RSS feed, some 1.0
users are using dc:subject to make this choice (which is
easily displayed through the AmphetaDesk templates as
$item->{"dc:subject"}. I think there's an RSS 2.0 built-in
equivalent, but I don't recall.

Regardless, in-feed categories aren't related to this
particular tracker item, which caters to "ok, Morbus, I've
got 700 subscriptions and I'd like to organize them by
categories so that I can say 'show me all my political
feeds'", etc.
