    Hi everyone,

    Does anyone actually use RSS to syndicate large amounts of formatted text + images? Meaning both the summary description + fulltext content. I'm talking about converting any web materials (subject to copyright and commercial/personal right of use of course) to an RSS feed.

    One application after getting the fulltext will be to post them to portals, directories and forums.

    There's been enough work on my hands to make this tool a busy task. Just wondering how many of us are actually interested in such tools? I'm trying to determine if there is sufficient open interest, so I may consider to take time to make this into a proper piece of code.

    A little background: My research area is in natural language processing. This basically means trying to make machines actually comprehend data/text being processed and then do something post-processing based on that intelligence. This proxy is the first step into information retrieval and processing.

    Something like feedburner + lint and so much more. Anyone keen on co-development or have a specific INTERESTING request can PM me.
