Hi, I investet some time in a new look of our rssview site. You can take a look at this visual jewel :) at http://rssview.sourceforge.net/newsite/. If you like it I'll do a clean (without CVS folders and all oter clutter) upload. Ciao Christoph PS: Our Beta seems to be quite stable... -- Christoph Walcher Albrechtskreithgasse 4-6/1/11 A-1160 Wien email: chr...@we... mobile: +43 (650) 8320065 |

Looks great for me. =20 > PS: Our Beta seems to be quite stable... Yes. I haven't received any complaints yet. I have personally still one RFE, which I would like to discuss. I would like to have a dialog, where one can add a feed by clicking on it. This would require to create a small DTD for configuration of the list which will be displayed. This list can be maintained by us. (Maybe this way it'd be possible to get sponsorship and give something back. We can discuss the options and wheather we really need sponsorship.) Secondly, we need to display this list appropriately. I can can imagine a dialog that displays an icon of the feed and its name. We can decide where we get the icon from: a) an URL in the feed b) a fixed URL in our config c) a default icon The dialog itself should download the feed icons only if they need to be displayed. It does not make sense to download 1000 icons at once, if we have 1000 feeds in our configuration. We should also associate folders for the feeds in the configuration. What do you think about it?

I'm a little bit confused. Does that mean that we keep a List of Feeds on our homepage (as XML file) and have some mechanism like - "subscribe predefined feed" in RssView? > Secondly, we need to display this list appropriately.

Ok, predefined Feeds with a folder structure. > What do you think about it? I like the idea. Makes it easier for new users to start with RssView. I'll investigate some possibilities to integrate these changes. Ciao Christoph |

The idea is to have an assistant-like feature for people who don't know anything about feeds. But we should also leave this download-URL configurable. Admins in companies might want to distribute their own internal feeds this way. > I like the idea. Makes it easier for new users to start with RssView. Exactly. Martin |
