I'd love to take this up (as a student, GSoC or not), if the current
architecture of Akregator makes it possible. I'm quite comfortable working in
C/C++, I love RSS and I love KDE; it's a shame I can't use an RSS reader with a
K in it (my rss server is miniflux).
I will fiddle around the code when I get the free time, although it'd
definitely help more if a developer could point me in the right direction
regarding this.

And I do believe that adding support for Google Reader API / Fever API would be
a better first step than specific services like feedly, because many
clients/servers implement Google Reader API.
