What we want to do

We want a feed parser that

  • pulls latest feed info from feeds.mozilla.com for front page
  • pulls latest feed info from news.rdf (for now) for front page
  • optionally: creates mash ups of multiple feeds on sub-pages (e.g. Our causes > Education)

How to do it

We need to decide:

  • Do we want to cache things?
  • If so, what kind of cache/db should be used?

Implementation

There are several different options (subject to evaluation):

  • Write a parser from scratch
  • Use a library/class/framework
    • Zend
    • Pear
    • Magpie
    • Other
