Description

I coded up an importer for RSS feeds. Grab it from my site, drop it into db/converters, and then call it with '-a [author] -u [URL-of-RSS-feed]'.

There is a bug I found in the RSS module in Ruby's stdlib, which is that the 'domain' attribute for category elements is optional and the RSS module thinks that it's required. It's a two-line diff to rss/0.9.rb to fix it, though, so I don't think it's a big deal. I've successfully tested this against RSS2 feeds from WordPress and pyblosxom - it works pretty well for me.
