Problem with Feeds and Parser Settings

I've installed and enabled Feeds and several (common syndication, iCal, REGEX) parser plug-ins but when I visit admin/build/feeds to configure a feed importer NONE of the parsers that I have tried present any configurable settings. I've tried this in a couple of different themes including Garland...nothing.

The admin URL that I end up at is always:
/admin/build/feeds/edit/feed/settings/FeedsParser. Am I looking in the wrong spot or missing something here? Anybody else encountered this kind of behavior and found a way around it?

what to do about iCal in D7?

I'm a big user of iCal feed parsing in D6 using FeedAPI to consume Google Calendars for display in Calendar views. The idea being that the canonical source of calendaring data is sourced outside of Drupal in whatever Calendaring app the user naturally uses. In D7, there is no real progress on an iCal Feed Parser for Feeds, the successor to FeedAPI. I'm a little surprised that such a functional need hasn't been addressed yet over six months after D7's release. I wonder: is there an obvious workaround or alternate venue for this functionality in D7 that I'm not aware of?

Importing and manipulating the (semantic) data in Drupal

Dear members of the Semantic Web & Views development,

I have been playing with the idea of using Drupal as rapid development environment for (semantic) web applications, rather than CMS. The idea is not as far-fetched as it may seem at first:

  1. CCK allows me to define a database model. Core functionality in D7.
  2. Feeds parser lets me to pre-fill the data in nodes defined in step 1 - including the possibility to fetch data at regular intervals, update nodes and drop old nodes.
  3. RDF-related functionality allows me to associate the data saved in pre-defined nodes with ontology terms.
  4. Views allow mixing of data from different node types
  5. It is also possible to programatically define data (e.g. automatically fill in a field) both in the node and in the View
  6. Finally, there are plenty of modules that let me do just about anything with the data once I have it in nodes & views. Some exampels include e.g. visualization on a map, and setting up a web server (SOAP, REST, ...) that exposes my data to the outside world.
