What about a simple RSS server?What about a simple RSS server?Posted Mar 28, 2006 21:03 UTC (Tue) by madscientist (subscriber, #16861)Parent article: The Grumpy Editor's guide to RSS aggregators
I've spent the last week poking around looking for a very simple RSS server (have you ever tried searching for something like that with Google etc.? :-))
By that I mean a CGI script or similar that lets people write up a short simple article or announcement and submit it to an RSS server, that would then publish it via RSS. I've looked at blogging engines, most of which publish RSS, and those are kind of what I mean but they're so heavy-weight; I don't need comments, calendars, etc. Plus I'd like to be able to timeout stuff and delete it. Also, I don't want people to have to learn HTML etc. to write content: I would like some pretty simple markup to do simple things: in that sense it's like a Wiki, but I don't want people to be able to modify the content, etc. (and most wikis are also more than I imagine I need).
Anyone have any pointers to something very small and simple? It doesn't have to be "production ready" or anything.

What about a simple RSS server? Posted Mar 28, 2006 22:48 UTC (Tue) by madscientist (subscriber, #16861) [Link] There're no docs and few comments, but as far as I can tell from the code this doesn't seem to be related to what I was asking about. Apropos of not much, if I were going to do something like this I'd write it in Perl (or Python or Ruby or whatever) rather than C, at least until/unless they were proven too inefficient... good luck with your project though!

Posted Mar 29, 2006 2:34 UTC (Wed) by tjc (subscriber, #137) [Link] I re-read your post, and you're right, this isn't what you're looking for.This is an server program that takes an RSS feed as input and converts the output to HTML. I was going to use it for news updates on a webpage, but that project fell through, so this code has been languishing on my hard drive for a while now. Lately I've been think about finishing it just so that the work I put into it doesn't go to waste. I was hoping to push it off on someone else. :-)

If a project bores you, chances are it will also bore someone who has even less loyalty to the code. Projects with similar histories are littered across SourceForge... If you shepherd your project long enough to attract some loyal users, however, you might manage to do it. it takes some dilligence though!
