Support for RSS flows
Description: An RSS flow could be easily represented in an instant messaging manner by showing RSS sources as IM contacts/buddies and flow content as instant messages. Doing so in SIP Communicator would mean adding a simple IM protocol implementation around an existing RSS stack.
This implementation would make RSS sources appear to the user as instant messaging buddies:
New RSS events would be displayed to the user as incoming instant messages sent by the RSS source buddy.
In this project you would have to:
- Determine which would be the best library to use for RSS support
- Write an implementation of the SIP Communicator ProtocolProviderService over the RSS stack.
- Create unit tests that test your protocol provider.
