[Tracker] Tracker and RSS

[Thomas Meire <blackskad gmail com>]

Hi all,

I started working on a simple rss reader using tracker 0.7 alpha to
store and query the FeedChannels and FeedMessages. I've been able to
query tracker and insert/delete stuff using the python examples in the
repository. The next step would be to fetch the rss file for the
FeedChannels and insert the FeedMessages in tracker. From what i know
about tracker now, i deduced two possible implementations. However,
I'm not sure which is the most favorable.

* The first one would be to implement a plugin for tracker-indexer
(which is already there, i think) and tracker-extract (which i didn't
find) and let tracker parse the rss file.
* The second implementation would be to fetch the rss file for the
FeedChannel in my app, parse it there and then push the data to
tracker.

What would be the preferred the option to do this? Any common pitfalls
i need to be aware of?

Thank you,
Thomas

ps. I know there are a lot of rss readers already and the need for
another one is very small. I'm just using rss as a case to play with
tracker to figure out the basics. Something more useful might follow
when i get a hang of it :)
