[Fofredux-devel] beta v0.2 ready for testing

[Andrew T. <ajt...@hi...>]

Great to hear from everyone - it really seems like we have a diverse
and good team on board so far.

In related news, I have wrapped up preliminary development of fofredux
v0.2. There are a couple of things I would appreciate some feedback
on:

1) timestamp in fof_update_feed doesn't actually do anything. I
attempted to have it write the timestamp based on either the pubDate,
or the dc:date fields in the field, but I couldn't get it to work and
hoped one of you could figure it out.

2) Categories are done on a 1 feed to 1 category mapping per feed.
However, I started to put in support for putting in a 1 feed can have
many categories. This complicates a lot more of the code/sql entries,
so I held off for the time being. What do you think?

3) Flagging was added as an int(4) field in the items table. However,
what do you think the proper/most usable method would be, some set of
bit fields, a enum, a 1 item to 1 flag (with flag table) or like
categories a 1 item to many flags, therefore needed a flag table and a
cross index table?

4) You may have noticed, I put up a quick logo at:
http://fofredux.sourceforge.net/

what do you think about it, we could make the box with red and grey
the "favicon" (with no writing).
