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. :-)

That almost never works... 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!
