Missing support for importing other blogs

[guest]

It strikes me that a generic feed importer would be quite cool.

1. It imports your old blog(s) via a feed.
2. It could be used to mirror other blogs, or planets or whatever.

At least support for RSS/Atom and Wordpress should be available in 0.1.

An example plugin.

Applied patch in [92].

And reverted in [93] because I will pull it from aa's repo once it's stable. Things that should be done:

• unicode support (right now i get this:  http://paste.pocoo.org/show/4075)
• move the tab over to the post tab (named "Import Feed") and highlight it

I am making some small progresses. I moved the tab. I investigated "unicode" issues, and I cannot replicate the traceback, and also have other issues, which I had to make a small patch on BS for.

My code is hosted here to browse or clone etc:

Still to do:

• Generate the example author map from users in the database
• Convert the newlines in the author map to ; so that they can be edited in the configuration editor

Well, this was solved by the importer framework, so am closing this ticket. Individuial blogs that need importing should be individual tickets.
