In related news, the young man who invented RSS feeds, Aaron Swarz, killed himself yesterday. He was 26.

Sad news

It's a shame that despite all he has done for the internet and the world, the U.S. government still labeled him a felon.

No so. According to Wiki he co-authored v1.0 as a member of the RSS-DEV Working Group.
RDF Site Summary, the first version of RSS, was created by Dan Libby and Ramanathan V. Guha at Netscape and released in 1999, and became known as RSS 0.9.

Anyhow, the Python code is too simple. This needs to be rewritten in Java to support n-tier architecture, with a producer/consumer design pattern implemented in an EJB which stores data in an intermediate XML format in a database table accessed by Hibernate. Please submit your UML diagrams of the new design by the end of the week for a review. We'll have a few agile scrum iterations and stand-up meetings to discuss it. Maybe by 2014 we can begin work on coding, if we can get a cross-departmental buy-in on our database schema, and get budget for a server.
