Brian Lamb struggles with the agony of aggregation as he ponders how to set up student feeds for easy reading. I'm sympathetic - much of the work I've done with Edu_RSS has had to to with caching and otherwise optimizing feed aggregation - the idea that you can just write some aggregator code and have it read an parse an indefinite number of feeds is quaint, but false. Brian writes, "Maybe Stephen Downes's impending release of Edu_RSS will do the trick" - just so you know, I'm doing my best on that, but the bureaucracy moves ponderously slow. Don't miss the many good comments added to this post.
