One of our users already thought of this and was kind enough to
create the group for us at Yahoo. Let's move our discussion
over to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/syndic8.

I will get to the first one or two really soon.

The suggest page will actually check to see if the feed is
already known; you don't have to do this yourself.

I would like to see the scraped sites listed. I can
do a one-time import of the entire NewsIsFree list sometime
soon if you would like.

very good!

A few things that would be nice:
- list feeds by name (a page with all feeds starting with A)
- in the current list, direct access to page N (show list
   of page number at the bottom, so we can jump to page n)
- search by name

I've been submitting feeds this morning and finding out
what is already there is time consuming...


Also, I'd like you oponion about submitting NewsIsFree
generated feeds (for scrapped sites):
I chose not to submit any now, I'll just add it on a
case by case basis when a source is submitted and that
users request it be scrapped.
But you could also decide add them all and change the status
from Scrapped to Officialy-Syndicated when/if an official feed
because available.


Maybe we need a mailing list just for Syndic8 users to discuss
these issues (like I'm not subscribing to enough mailing lists
as it is :-))
