The feed aggregator I've been talking about is starting to take shape, and I feel like I've gotten to the point where I can share some more info. It's called FeedMuncher, and as previously hinted, the main objective has been to create an Open Source feed aggregator server and client that communicate using a new (soon to be) proposed open API. This API, tentatively called FAAPI (Feed Aggregation API --not very sexy, I know), can allow clients and servers to interoperate and synchronize feed aggregation meta-data, which in turn gives users the freedom to choose and switch between aggregator clients with minimal loss of data.
The current sample client is a single XHTML file (with 3 JavaScript includes) which, once loaded, communicates with the server solely through XMLHttpRequest using FAAPI. Anyway, see extended post for screen shots, and contact me if you would like to be notified when a public demo is available.
