Re: [Fofredux-devel] Hold off on commits

Ok - so we have a plan for resolving the RSS image storage? You can
make use of the cache directory if that may help too (and check for
updates on feed update? - at some point we probably want to add an
"update feed settings" that will go through and attempt to rediscover
lost feeds, grab any new metadata (name change, location change), and
the favicon)

Unfortunately, I think changes happened before and after this icon
change. What do you all think about having Katie get these changes
into 0.2. The alternative is rolling back around the RSS image
changes.

Thanks,
Andy
