Feedjack 0.9.16

Multisite Feed Agregator (Planet)

Feedjack is a feed aggregator writen in Python using the Django web development framework.

Like the Planet feed aggregator:

• It downloads feeds and aggregate their contents in a single site

• The new aggregated site has a feed of its own (atom and rss)

• It uses Mark Pilgrim’s excelent FeedParser

• The subscriber list can be exported as OPML and FOAF

But FeedJack also has some advantages:

• It handles historical data, you can read old posts

• It parses a lot more info, including post categories

• It generates pages with posts of a certain category

• It generates pages with posts from a certain subscriber

• It generates pages with posts of a certain category from a certain

  subcriber

• A cloud tag/folksonomy (hype 2.0 compliant) for every page and every subscriber

• It uses Django templates

• The administration is done via web (using Django’s kickass autogenerated and magical admin site), and can handle multiple planets

• Extensive use of django’s internal cache engine. Most of the time you will have no database hits when serving pages.
