Free atom newsreader software for linux

XPN - X Python Newsreader project is a graphical newsreader written in Python with the GTK+ toolkit. I started writing it because I was learning Python language and working on a real project keeps your attention high.
XPN is distributed with the GPL licence, youll found a copy of the licence inside the XPN archive.
An interesting characteristic of XPN is the complete portability. I use it a lot on Linux and Windows, however XPN should work wherever Python and GTK+2 work.
With XPN you can read/write articles on the Usenet with a good MIME support (better than some well known newsreaders).
XPN can operate with all the most diffuse charset starting from US-ASCII to UTF-8. When you edit an article XPN automatically chooses the best charset, however is always possible to override this choice.
There also other useful features like scoring, filtered views, random tag-lines, external editor support, one-key navigation, ROT13, spoiler char ...
Main features:
On-Line/Off-Line Mode
- XPN has been for a long time an on-line only newsreader, now its changed. Starting from 0.2.5 I added the read articles storing, and starting from 0.4.0 you are able to download the whole bodies with the headers, or to mark for retrieval some articles and then download their bodies.
- Note that the download is a bit slow because I havent yet optimized this code, so the better way to use XPN is still with a local news-server, or if you have a DSL connection, directly online.
MIME Standards
- With XPN you can read articles coded with quoted-printable, 7bit or 8bit. XPN is also full UTF-8 compliant, you can read and send aritcles with the UTF-8 charset.
- Outgoing articles are coded with the best charset, however you can always override this choice.
Scoring
- Its possible to create scoring rules (like the Hamsters ones but simpler) in order to assign a score to articles. This rule can act on this fields: From, Subject, Date, Message-ID, References, Age, Xpost, Xref, Bytes and Lines
- You may also create action rules. These rules trigger an action to be applied on to the article. Possible actions are !kill (delete the article), !markread, !watch, !ignore and so on.
- Action rules act on the same fields listed above plus a new field named Score, in fact action rules are always applied after scoring rules.
Multiple Layouts
- Ther three different possible layouts for the main window. Probably in the future I will add more of them. You can also zoom one of the tree panes.
Colors
- Articles are shown with different colors for text, quoted text and signs. You can change this colors.
Random TagLines
- Its possible to automatically add a random tagline in your articles. TagLines are picked from a textfile that you can customize.
X-Face::
- Starting from 0.4.5 XPN support decoding of the X-Face and Face headers. Thanks to Andrew Taylor (author of a Javascript implementation of uncompface) for helping me in translating its module.
Internationalization
- Starting from 0.4.5 release XPN supports multiple languages. I use gettext (thank to Guillame Bedot) in order to mark and extract text string from the code
- If you want to translate XPN in your language just get the original strings file (xpn.pot), youll find it inside lang directory. Translate it with a translation software like GTranslator, KBabel or POEdit and send me the result. Please use UTF-8 as you charset.

Tagesschau.de RSS-Reader is a RSS Reader of the German tagesschau.de News. Actually, it is not more than a little modified Version of the BBC Newsreader from http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=35922

Thanks to the author of this, and the author of the one, where he copied it, and so on...

Ive also not modified anything in the Script, I just put in the right URLs and made the header.

Hint: If you install it, and you only see a blank applet, refresh it with a right-click and Refresh Theme.

Atomic provides an Atom protocol client for creating and manipulating Atom feeds.

An Atom protocol client for creating and manipulating Atom feeds (e.g. blogs).

Ive added a new statusbar based interface for quick posts. There are still some unfinished bits there but it does function.

The big news is that it now supports blogspot!

While this plugin has a sidebar inteface, once youve setup your services, you can use the statusbar interface all by itself.

Look on the status bar for the Explore button. That will open the sidebar. From the sidebar you can add services.

At startup, it should prompt you for preferences and have you pick a file for the service list. The default is inside the extensions directory in your mozilla folder.

Afterwards, you need to have access to an Atom Protocol server. That may be the hardest one as the protocol is still a draft RFC

read4me is a Python feed-reading web service. It reads RSS or atom feeds and, using bayesian statistics, reports how much you will like the articles. This project includes a server and a Firefox extension client.

XML::Atom::SimpleFeed is a Perl module with no-fuss generation of Atom syndication feeds.

SYNOPSIS

use XML::Atom::SimpleFeed;

my $feed = XML::Atom::SimpleFeed->new(
title => Example Feed,
link => http://example.org/,
link => { rel => self, href => http://example.org/atom, },
updated => 2003-12-13T18:30:02Z,
author => John Doe,
id => urn:uuid:60a76c80-d399-11d9-b93C-0003939e0af6,
);

$feed->add_entry(
title => Atom-Powered Robots Run Amok,
link => http://example.org/2003/12/13/atom03,
id => urn:uuid:1225c695-cfb8-4ebb-aaaa-80da344efa6a,
summary => Some text.,
updated => 2003-12-13T18:30:02Z,
category => Atom,
category => Miscellaneous,
);

$feed->print;

This module provides a minimal API for generating Atom syndication feeds quickly and easily. It supports all aspects of the Atom format, but it has no provisions for generating feeds with extension elements.

You can supply strings for most things, and the module will provide useful defaults. When you want more control, you can provide data structures, as documented, to specify more particulars.
