Hippo Bugs Source People Description Changes from Klutz for comics driver As a source of feeds Resources UI Ideas YQL - super data source Semantic data sources Feed sources Converting partial feeds to full feeds Term extraction OPML parsing (merge into Horde_Feed) Typography PDF generation Podcast fetching NYTimes data source Video sources Vanity feeds Hippo Hippo will be a new Horde 4, PHP 5 application that aggregates content. It will initially be written to aggregate feeds, both internal from Jonah natively, and external (through Horde_Feed). Hippo will work with Horde_Content types and have Input and Output classes. Input classes will allow reading a content type, such as Horde_Feed feeds, Jonah internal feeds, comics, etc. Output classes will allow outputting a "remixed" feed from one or more inputs (such as combining an RSS feed with a few comics into a daily feed). Bugs Horde_Feed improvements to suport Hippo: http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6877 http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6876 http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6879 http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6880 Source Hippo is being developed in the Horde hatchery People ChuckHagenbuch is working on Hippo. MikeNaberezny may be interested in Hippo. Description Horde_Cache will be used to cache content that isn't stored directly Some content types such as comics might include code to fetch and store themselves locally; we might decide that Horde_Feed external feeds should be fetched into a local content table also This application should be able to provide the backend for Planet Horde (http://planet.horde.org/) Fields to aggregate for feeds: title, url, uid, summary, content if any, content-type for content, date During Hippo runs, Horde_Log will be used for logging There will be the ability to run filters on Hippo_Input plugins. For instance, if a certain feed has the same junk in every entry, a filter could be attached to the Hippo_Input for that feed that would strip it out. Generic (regex-type) filters should be configurable via the UI; it should be possible to configure any kind of filter in a config file or separate input plugin class. This application should eventually be able to replace Klutz Additional possible content types include podcasts, content from other Horde applications (iCalendar data from Kronolith), "friend information (http://hasin.wordpress.com/2008/05/31/building-friendfeed-using-php-part-1/, http://hasin.wordpress.com/2008/06/03/building-services-like-friendfeed-using-php-part2/), etc. Hippo will be able to provide read/write "data folders" to IMP 5 (or other folder-browsing applications). This will allow feed reading from within IMP. Other possible data folder providers are Nag and Whups. Must support PubSubHubbub (http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/, http://adsenseforfeeds.blogspot.com/2009/07/whats-all-hubbub-about-pubsubhubbub.html) GUID detection: if (isset($item['guid'])) { $guid = $item['guid']; } elseif (isset($item['id'])) { $guid = $item['id']; $item['guid'] = $item['id']; } else { $guid = $item['link']; $item['guid'] = $item['link']; } Stats to keep: stats for when a feed was last updated when you last read something from it when you last flagged something from it Changes from Klutz for comics driver "try to fetch this comic" gives a blank page, though it works - make "try to fetch this comic" links inline ajax calls UI updates default to the previous day's comics if today's haven't fetched yet have a back-fill mode for fetch? http://example.org/horde/klutz/index.php?actionID=day&date=1217995200 - have the capability, just need to have it in the command-line script - put the various fetch, rebuild sums, cleanup tasks into API calls. - use those api calls in backend.php and rename backend.php to some more reasonable admin script - better error reporting throughout the drivers and backend.php code - feeds of specified comic sets - tags? so, political cartoons, sometimes funny, always funny..
