News aggregator module

[Beni_gf]

Hello,
i want to announce the first public GPL release of our news aggregator module:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dpnews/

You can use it to aggregate news from several news sites by just adding the RSS feed adress.
It features several options to tune the output. You may, for example, show only the first 8 headers of the feed. Or you may show just 5 headlines, but with 150 characters of the description of that topic.

The feeds can be added to user definable categorys (via system field) and can be linked to projects.

Current locales are english and german.

Some images (from SF.net):
http://sourceforge.net/dbimage.php?id=150145
http://sourceforge.net/dbimage.php?id=150143
http://sourceforge.net/dbimage.php?id=150147

The module should be sufficiently stable, however it may need improvement in some access right things (who is allowed to edit feeds etc, this is expressed through the 0.9 version number ;))

Sounds cool! Thanks for the effort! :)

Thanks :)
i think it will be useful.
My team and i encountered some bugs in 0.9, most of them are already fixed, so you may grab the 0.10 version in SVN for testing purposes.
If i tweaked out the last small issues, i will release it.
I think this may happen at the beginning of the next week or so.

I would be glad if everyone trying the module would give me feedback, both positive and negative.
