Hi,

my proposal for a feed aggregator in ownCloud has been accepted for
Google Summer of Code 2012
(http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/cosenal/40001).

You can see the proposal here:

I would like to thank Jakob and Frank Osterfeld (from kde-pim), who
are going to mentor the project, as well as Jan-Christoph for helping
me to design the mockups of the app and Robin for inventing the
project one year ago.

I believe this app is going to be in the core of owncloud, not among
the external apps, is that correct? If yes, I am going to develop the
app in the 'rss' branch of owncloud, which I created long ago.

When we were designing the mockups with Jan, we decided that "News"
will be the name of the app that will appear in the navigation bar.
Should that be the name of everything else too? For instance, name of
the folder, app id, etc. I think a different name, such as
'aggregator' would be better as id of the app. What do you think? Are
there other examples of owncloud apps where those two names don't
match?

Last question: who is the webmaster of owncloud.org? I used to have an
account to modify it, but it doesn't seem to work anymore. Can you
please create a new account for me?

Ciao,
Alessandro (zimba12)
