RSS & Aggregation

The major new feature of OpenPackage Video 5.x-3.8 is integration with Feed Element Mapper (feedapi_mapper).

The development of this functionality was sponsored by Hudson Street Media using our bounty system:

http://openpackage.biz/bounty/14

Feed Element Mapper is an add-on module for FeedAPI that maps a feed's elements such as tags or (in this case) videos to taxonomy or CCK fields on your site.

This enables your site to aggregate videos from other sites.

I have set up various video feeds on our site as a demonstration. Click on the 'Feed item' links to view the videos.

I'm just wondering how to import mediawiki XML and turning it into a wikitools drupal system. This should theoretically be simple, but I'm not sure where to begin.

As maybe you heard, my application was accepted to write a new aggregator for Drupal core :) : http://code.google.com/soc/2008/drupal/appinfo.html?csaid=1222E090E875B36D
Here as a first step, I would like to collect lots of possible problems in aggregation area. Please share your opinion about these questions to help Drupal 7 to have as good aggregator as possible :) :

The items are not necessarily ordered by relevance.

Node creation

There are many people, who ask a possibility to filter feed items based on keywords in order to exclude them from processing (or possibly based on some other criteria like on timestamp, etc.). This issue has been raised under most aggregator modules and such feature request is in the pipeline of FeedAPI project as well:

FeedAPI:

The usual recommendation for such problem is to relay on standard syndication and use Views module afterwards for filtering.

This is my SoC proposal fro Drupal. Please feel free to post questions, suggestions or send me an email.

--------- Project proposal: RSS Overhaul (incl. Encryption) ---------

Improve over current RSS implementation:

• Richer RSS options allowing to include/exclude text contents, images, related comments, digg-like links, etc.
• Allow secure RSS and add access control settings in Admin interface accordingly.

I want to propose a project for building a module that pulls news content from a global news service called Daylife (http://daylife.com)

Daylife is a global news aggregation service that offers an Open API platform called DayPI (http://developer.daylife.com) for any developer, blogger, news service to pull stories and photos about any topic in the world. The API returns data in XML, JSON and PHP serialized formats. You can read the Daylife About page at http://www.daylife.com/page/about to learn more about the company. All platform documentation is on http://developer.daylife.com/docs

Summary:
I want to write two modules for Drupal as part of Google Summer of Code. One called meme_tracker and the other called machine_learning_api. The meme_tracker module will use the machine_learning_api to intelligently filter and group content from both internal and external content sources. The module's purpose is to find and display to a community in real time the most interesting conversations and memes within the community as they emerge.

Hello Drupliers. My name is Kyle Mathews. I'm a grad student in Information Systems at Brigham Young University working as a research assistant to several faculty members here. We are studying how and where social software can be used in education.

In the past eight months, I've built a number of classroom websites using Drupal. I've learned a considerable bit about Drupal in the process, became very involved in the community, and am writing a module (writing_assignment -- still a work in progress btw). I've loved most everything about Drupal but have found Drupal is missing an important component for building the perfect social learning website. This itches. So, in the best open-source fashion, I'm applying to Google Summer of Code to scratch my itch.

Hi,
I'm very new to drupal, and not a programmer... though I have several (without drupal experience) in my lab.

I would like to take the results of a pubmed search at NCBI, and use the feed in drupal.
I can get the RSS link to work nicely in NetNewsWire (Mac).
When I use drupal aggregator everything is displayed (abstract etc), I want to just list out the titles.
I've tried to use the NCBI controls to regulate the output, but it seems tat doesn't apply to the RSS feed which gets everything.
