Hey,
I kind of want to support OPDS feeds as a content source for KNewStuff. These are Atom feeds on steroids that describe a catalog of downloadable content. It was designed for epubs, but the format allows any kind of content that can be described by a mimetype.
I could point out that there's several well established feeds like project gutenberg, archive.org, feedbooks and more, but the primary reason I want this is that, because it is an Atom feed on steroids, anyone with an https server can make one. So for example, you could make one and put it on a neocities webpage, which could be great for authors who really want to keep tight control over their publishing.
So, the thing is that I am not sure where to start. @leinir pointed out the static xml scraper to me, which I guess shows it could be done, but I am also wondering whether, given that this is an atom feed extension, it might not be better to extent the PIM Syndication library and reuse that somehow? Or maybe it is simpler to just write what is needed into a little provider?
Anyhow some links:
