Channel pack

SyndARn > links to RSS feeds > Channel pack

Think about it : adding each RSS you need one by one is a very boring part of the aggregator business. What we need is either mass subscription to RSS feeds, within category, or dynamic subscription.

Dynamic subscription

This is may be a real issue. Why ? Because you will depend on a server (the feeder for your dynamic subscription). This may raise serious security issue, after all.

Mass subscription

An intermediate step could be mass subscription. With standard RSS feeds, you subscribe to them, one after one. Here with mass subscription, you subscribe to many of them (10, 20 ?). With one main advantage, they are all related (same category, same business, whatever).

OPML

OPML should have been just this format. But it's not a well defined format, and may be even not a good starting point. But, most RSS readers use this, and SyndARn support file in OPML format from 1.1.3 on.

Channel pack : RSS of ... RSS URL

What we need is a file full of RSS URL. We call them Channel Pack in SyndARn. Channel Pack are just that, standard RSS 2.0 file, each item link to an RSS URL. They may be available later in SyndARn.
