That's pretty much what I'm thinking too... provide tools for anybody to publish
LENNI-enhanced feeds from their own sources, and provide other tools for
readers, either web-based or desktop/compiled. And as a side benefit, I also see
the ability of custom web-based aggregators to build onto this, for use in
calendars, and such.
So there would be a bunch of separate feeds, like there are today, and there'll
probably be at least one big web-based aggregator, something like LENNInews.org
or something, with a customizable newspaper and calendar format. But there are
almost certainly going to be subsets of something like that out there as well,
as people build their own custom display using selected feeds. That's what I
really like about this - it's open for people to do what they want, if the tools
and basic format are available. At least I hope it works that way. We certainly
have the geekpower in this community to do this, if we so desire.
