Open source Java newsfeed aggregation engine

Comments[0] by Dave in Roller

I propose starting an opensource project to do RSS aggregation. I think the Radio model of viewing it through a web page is nice, so I'm thinking we build it using WebWork. Storage of RSS feed subscriptions can be as easy as saving them in an XML file. Scheduling of feed updates could be done with Quartz. This could be very simple at first (all jobs are synch'd on the same schedule), then made more and more advanced (allowing individual schedules per feed, etc.) [Jason Carreira]
That sounds great, but make the aggregation engine modular so it can be used in Struts apps, WebWork apps, and in client-side aggregators favored by Rickard and others.
