I'd like to take a moment to introduce you PHP programmers to the PeachRSS system. Peach is an RSS parser. Simple, lightweight, small footprint and easy to implement. What is RSS? If you have to ask that question, you're on the wrong thread. What is PeachRSS? The simplest, most lightweight *FREE* GPL RSS parser available Why are you posting it here? I'm the primary developer of PeachRSS. After years of developing solutions for companies such as IBM, Raymond James, Cantor Fitzgerald, and being a contributor to the Red Hat Linux project since 1993, I had a need for a lightweight, small footprint, easily integratable RSS parser. What are you looking for? I'm looking for co-developers to help extend the functionality of the original model through modules. If you're interested in joining the project, please PM me here. I love DigitalPoint forums and think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. If I could find a few young programmers who could help extend the functionality, that is my goal. The poject will *aways* remain freeware because RSS/XML syndication is the future of the internet How can I help? You can help by downloading the software, and playing with it. I would greatly appreciate anybody who could integrate the original source code into easily installable "widgets" that work from publicly avaliable RSS sources. What do I get out of it? If you contribute significantly, you will be added to the PeachRSS team which could mean a star on your resume for future jobs, or just the vanity of saying you are a member of the development team. Why are you using DigitalPoint as your discussion thread? Again, I love this forum. I could easily bring up an SMF based forum for the PeachRSS project, but instead, I would much rather use this forum thread as the "official" thread of the project. Are you using Sourceforge? Contrary to popular belief, Sourceforge is full of junk projects. I would like to keep PeachRSS as clean, untainted and powerful as possible which is why I've chosen to release the software through DP forums and have the support thread here. The owners of this forum are unparallelled in the internet technology realm, and if PeachRSS is to be "the best", it's obvious to use the *best* technology source for this project. Where can I get PeachRSS? PeachRSS is freely available at http://www.peachrss.com/ Any developers interested in writing widgets and/or helping with the future of the code such as adding "caching", export to RSS modules, etc. Please contact me here on this thread. Also, you may post your wishlists here as well. Cheers !!! Dave
It says 'free' in that text 3 times (in some form or another). It also says it's under the GPL, so...
I've just finished coding and testing the newest feature of PeachRSS which allows webmasters to generate a fully compliant RSS 2.0 or Atom RSS feed from their database using field mapping. I'll be uploading the newest version 1.1.0 tomorrow. I'll also be bringing up a blog on the site to spin some more tech recipes and examples of using PeachRSS (in Ajax, Javascript, Flash). Additionally I'm going to add a page of links to the site for listings of websites currently using PeachRSS in their applications. Thanks to everybody who's already using the software and thanks for all the feedback that is fueling my interest in this project.
