[development] stripping tags during aggregation?

[Ashraf Amayreh]

I chose to bring items in as nodes because then you can utilize so many of
the node features like editing an aggregated node, using all modules that
affect nodes, ability to attach comments, user ownership, categorizing them
through the taxonomy system, publishing, moderation, revisions (although I
don't implement revisions yet but it sounds intriguing to play on this
thought), sticky, etc.

This is what popped to mind in an instant, I could also see integration with
other node oriented modules such as views and some vague  and definitely
undeveloped CCK integration, path-auto comes to mind as well. Aggregating
feeds in a different way would make them a total foreign entity that needs
special hooks, special handling, new modules that utilize a new API, I'm
just stating the thoughts I had when I reached the conclusion to aggregate
them as nodes.

Thanks for the suggestion on how to handle input. Filtering input through
the node filter system sounds ideal. Never would have reached this on my
own.

I'll take the opportunity to ask if there are any developers here interested
in co-maintaining the aggregation module with me, you can drop me a line off
list. I really need extra skilled people here so as to not screw up my
module :P Just go take a look at the pending patches and feature requests
and your going to drool at the beauty ;) You'll also know why a
co-maintainer sounds like a good idea. Sponsors don't need any invitations,
they're always welcome hehe :P
