This SoC project is to create an RSS framework on top of Akonadi to
enable desktop-wide RSS feed management. This allows KDE to: - maintain a single (desktop-wide) list of RSS subscriptions from which RSS-enabled applications or the user can choose only the relevant feeds (e.g., only podcast feeds for Amarok) - use a single storage so RSS-enabled applications don't need to create their own storage solutions - receive notifications of the changes made to the RSS feed list and articles kept in storage - add support for synchronization with online feed readers for all RSS-enabled applications simultaneously - provide an easy to use library for managing feeds and articles so RSS-enabled applications can perform common tasks such as fetching feeds, adding/removing feeds, modifying attributes of feeds/articles, tagging feeds/articles As a result, KDE applications can utilize the framework to manage RSS feeds in a centralized manner: plasma applets, Akregator, Amarok, KTorrent, KNewsticker. |
