We are starting to use WordPress as a Help Center / Instructional content management system. The idea is to syndicate contextual help to a variety of sites and apps based on categories and tags (i.e., search, facets, registration, policies, etc.). This makes it easy for instructional librarians and other staff to easily update the content without having to depend on a programmer to update it. I am using PHP's libxslt library to transform the feed and pull it into whatever site needs to use it, but I've noticed a slight lag. SimplePie and it's caching features look like a possible solution for this. Thanks! However, archiving these feeds is another question entirely... perhaps the SimplePie caching mechanism could be extended to save feeds to a persistent data store? Or is there web archiving software that could do the trick?

I've also used Magpie, Zend Feeds and SimplePie. If your only interested in parsing, presenting and storing then I'd suggest looking at SimplePie. > > -Charlie > (sent from my phone) > > On Jul 11, 2012, at 10:38 PM, Brian McBride<[log in to unmask]> wrote: > >> Code4lib team! >> >> I was wondering if anyone has worked on a projects relating to harvesting and archiving RSS/ATOM feeds from third party sites.
