Overview
This is a simple syndication client for CMF. It uses rssparser and shares many things in common with CMFNewsFeed but has a different model for handling channels. It is designed to map _n_ channels or feeds to sets of composite virtual channels which can then be called in in a timely fashion. Most of the remaining work has to happen in UI land.
CMFSin now should work in Plone 2.0, 2.1, and 2.5. Please report any bugs to the issue tracker: http://plone.org/products/cmfsin/issues.
