Re: [syndication] Scraper code?



The scrapers that have code available.  I'm interested in setting a few of them
up on a machine to see how they stack up during validation.  Then to see what it
would take to make them better at meeting specs/validation goals.

So using a hosted system like myrss doesn't match up.  There's nothing wrong
with those services.  I'm just looking to find scrapers that can be run on your
own systems as a service.  And by system I'm thinking "unix-like".

I think I'll just stick with the existing stuff and work from there.  I /am/
expecting that people will have to put markup in their HTML pages to use a
scraper.  I realize plenty of folks are doing things to work around existing
HTML pages.  I'm not interested in that.

What I'm gathering is not much work has been done in this area.
