Hello devs,

I agree, it was a lot of fun. I'm not sure about this project anymore.
Java standalone applications on desktops might still be useful,
but I can see that people prefer to have their news tickers aggregated
tightly with their desktops.

I have some more project ideas (totally different topics) and some of
them are in development. I have many things to do. RssView is quite
useful, but it lacks support for new feed standards. We have been a
few steps ahead some time ago, but now we lost the pole position.

Whatever ideas there are. Let's discuss it. The code is also quite old.
JDK 1.5 is standard and has many APIs that are already built-in.
There is some code clean-up to do.

I have seen a connection between RssView and a new project, but
it will still take time until I can take RssView in consideration.
It does not have a priority for me at the moment.
