+====== Lalina ======
+//a webbased feed aggregator inspired by lilina//
+===== Prologue =====
+I used Panayotis Vryonis' feed reader [[http://lilina.sourceforge.net/|lilinia]]  for a while and found it the best webbased reader with the best user interface available. It only had one problem: speed. A lilina page with items from my 50 or something subscribed feeds took ages to load. So I thought to simply add mysql database support.
+While digging through the code I suffered from my not-invented-here syndrome and started to recode big parts. Ending up with a completely new application. I wrote my own HTTP-Client (or better used the one I wrote for [[wiki:DokuWiki]]) and did the same for a very simple ATOM/RSS parser. The only thing left from the original lilina is the stylesheet and the JavaScripts.
+**Update:** Eric Harmon improved my code and added many features that where missing. His code is available under the name lylina and available at [[http://lylina.sourceforge.net/|sourceforge]].
+===== Features =====
+{{ sw:lalina.png?170|lalina Screenshot}}
+  * RSS and ATOM parsing
+  * MySQL database support
+  * HTTP lib with Conditional Requests
+  * Multiuser-Support
+  * Slick Interface borrowed from [[http://lilina.sourceforge.net/|lilinia]] ((check it out first, lalina nearly looks the same except for the missing icons))
+===== What's missing =====
+  * Feed-Icons
+  * Fetching feed-URLs from websites (using the <link rel="alternate"> tags)
+  * Javascipt causes errors (but works)
+  * Mark things as read - this is not in lalina either but would be great to have
+  * code comments
+  * Lot's of other candy
+===== Where to get =====
+I put up an [[wiki:darcs]] repository and autogenerated snapshots. I have no time to support this as a real project and am happy if anyone adopts it. I will probably answer no questions or give any help on it - but you can try of course.
+  * Pull via darcs: ''%%$> darcs get http://dev.splitbrain.org/darcs/lalina%%''
+  * darcs webinterface: http://dev.splitbrain.org/darcs/index.cgi/lalina
+  * Snapshots: http://dev.splitbrain.org/browse/snapshots/
+===== How to install =====
+Untar or fetch via darcs. Install the database with the provided ''lalina.sql'' script. Add a first user with the following SQL (uses 'admin' as password - you can change it later):
+<code sql>
+insert into lalina_users set login='admin', pass='$1$1397484d$xt7b9DtY9aJt3XWjAQwJ//';
+</code>
+Create a cronjob for the feed fetcher:
+<code>
+*/10 * * * * cd /path/to/lalina/ && /usr/bin/php4 fetch.php >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
+</code>
+Log in and add some feeds.
