Hi guys,

A year or two ago I started working on an RSS reader, basically a Flash 
desktop application built with Screenweaver that would sit in your 
system tray periodically checking feeds. I'd love to revive that project 
and make it open source, new features I have in mind are:

- keyword searches
- import OPML
- bookmark posts
- intelligent offline caching (and integrate that with an RSS screensaver)
- support for podcasts
- ...

If anyone is interested, feel free to drop me a line! All help is 
greatly appreciated, and it could definitely do with some interface 
design and usability testing. Proposed project name is "NewsFlash" (a 
bit tacky and obvious, if anyone comes up with a better name just let me 
know) ;)

All the best,
Peter
