Unfortunately, speed is an issue for our aggregation sites where parsing time adds up accross all Drupal installations on the server.
There are some good arguments to be made for decoupling parsing / aggregating directly within Drupal and moving it outside -- just putting nodes into Drupal. I don't object to that SimplePie may well be the better
choice for a general use case - can we agree on a pluggable solution, though?
Yes. I can understand. But let's not desmiss the new aggregator solution as
Drupal 7 only material. A backport to 6 or even 5 could be very easy to do. Moreover, it's pretty likely that Aron actually starts developing the new aggregator on Drupal 5.
From a more personal point of view, I really would like to get rid of leech and build on top of common ground as soon as possible - not only when 7's out.
Hallelujah. So...if Morbus needs to move, can we start on the foundations of the one, true pluggable aggregation API of doom, together, now? -- Boris Mann Office 604-682-2889 Skype borismann http://www.bryght.com
