Feed::appendArticles(), feed.cpp:461  
We actually had an ArticleInterceptor interface once which could be 
implemented and registered to receive all new articles. It had no users though 
and was removed (can be readded easily if needed).

MainWidget::slotArticleSelected(), mainwidget.cpp:798

There are no UML diagrams.

api.kde.org has akregator apidox (which is incomplete and as an application 
nowhere near the level of documentation you see for libraries). 
See 

http://api.kde.org/4.1-api/kdepim-apidocs/akregator/html/hierarchy.html

for the class hierarchy (ignore the c4_$foo classes, they are from the metakit 
plugin).

What do plan to do? 
If you are interested in Akregator you might be interested in krss, which 
provides RSS support for Akonadi, making it possible to share feeds and feed 
items between RSS applications (akregator, plasmoids, newstickers, podcast 
clients...). It's currently in development and we plan to port akregator to 
use it (for 4.3, hopefully). You can find it in trunk/playground/pim/krss.
