aggregation

The alpha version was released last week, after that I fixed a number of bugs and issues. Now if someone check out the CVS, (s)he will find a module which UI is a little bit hard to understand, but the functionality mainly works. I planned to release the beta yesterday, but I didn't do it, because with Alex(the change was his idea and he wrote a proof-of-concept patch) we decide on a radical change. FeedAPI's API part will be changed a little bit.

Last week and today I achieve the following results (basically I followed the last week report's todo):

Again, I got lots of valuable responses from my mentors and Morbus, they really kindly follow my work and tell the problems and the suggestions.
You can install the FeedAPI modules to any Drupal 5 site and you can do the following:

Last week there were important decisions again:

When I was reading Robert's mail yesterday about the missing weekly reports here, I felt some embarrassment. Sorry, I just forgot this place absolutely. So here is the status report from the beginning of the project: (I'll create the weekly reports here regularly)

This is a concept that hit me last night.

One of the issues we have with current Aggregator is that after a certain number of feeds, it starts to have problems finishing its cron cycle.

Part of this is caused by the fact that Aggregator does three actions during cron:

• Get feed
• Validate feed
• Parse feed

Really, aren't only the first two necessary during the cron run? Couldn't we save some cycles and boost performance by delaying the parsing stage until the data was requested by a user-initiated function (like an Aggregator block load)?
