sluk, rss and notmuch - some use cases

[Kristoffer Ström]

I just wrote a simple script to turn rss feeds into notmuch-parsable directories.

Script and docs available at: http://github.com/krl/sluk/

I had run into problems with both of the two other solutions for this i know

feed2imap: problems with threading consuming 100% cpu somehow (seems like a local problem, only happended from cron), also it started messing up the maildir writing.
rss2emai: downside that you need to send mail when you just want to write it in a directory. also had encoding issues with this.

I use this to read all my rss, and tag the ones i find interesting with "recommended", thereafter i use

http://github.com/albins/notmuch-to-feed

...to generate a feed from this tag, to spam my friends and enemies.

Feel free to yell at me if anything breaks.
