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).
Horde_Feed improvements to suport Hippo:
Hippo is being developed in the Horde hatchery
ChuckHagenbuch is working on Hippo. MikeNaberezny may be interested in Hippo.
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:
"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..
Keyboard nav:
Dave Winer has some ideas on loosely-coupled publishing tools that are interesting and may match with some of the Hydra/Hippo/Hound set of apps:
