[Feedreader-development] Atom support hack

[Jim M. <ji...@mc...>]

I just had a crazy idea to add Atom support really easily.

Atom is advocated by http://www.Blogger.com/ and you can read about it at 
http://www.AtomEnabled.org/

Anyway, there is a service provided by http://www.2rss.com/ that will 
convert Atom feeds to RSS feeds.  We could just automatically use that 
service to translate.  Here is an example translating the Atom feed from my 
blog:

http://www.2rss.com/atom2rss.php?atom=http%3A//www.mckeeth.org/bsdg/atom.xml

Here is their page about the service:

http://www.2rss.com/software.php?page=atom2rss

This is kind of a hack, but what do you think?  It would only work for 
feeds on the public Internet, which would cover most of them.  I have not 
delved deeply into Atom yet to see what would be involved in translating it.
