I like the fact that you have generic scrapers.  We are going to include this
functionality shortly within Reptile.

Is there anyway to have your system setup via crontab so that you can export
your scraped RSS feeds at a regular basis?

BTW.  I am working on Reptile/JXTA integration so that Reptile can expose
everything as just any plain P2P content.  This means that it will:

- - Act as a distributed HTTP cache (via CMS)

- - Support P2P weblogs so that users without stable sites can participate in the
  network.  

- - Support Jxta search so that uses can specify advanced queries and find new
  content.

The end goal being that we have a LOT more RSS content available and a more
efficient way of finding and moving it around.  (of course if anyone wants to
help I am always looking for new developers)

Ideally we would setup stable rendezvous nodes so that sites like moreover,
syndic8, etc can grab the content which is available in the JXTA network via an
OCS stream.
