Needs research

• What are possible settings for the resource?
• Read up on OPML/RSS/Atom spec (+ on the itunes podcast extension so we can set appropriate attributes; other extensions?)
• Possible Nepomuk RSS ontology (I found one on the web, not sure if it's correct)

Long-term project goals

• Finish the basic framework (the goal of this SoC project)
• Port Akregator to it/rewrite Akregator from scratch
• Improve virtual/search feeds (Nepomuk/Strigi/Akonadi virtual collections?)
• Create a generic RSS Akonadi resource that allows to easily add other types of RSS sources (RSS feeds from an Openchange server, online feed readers)
• Implement an RSS resource for the Newsgator.com online reader
• Get KDE4/Akonadi/this RSS framework up and running on my N800 so I can *finally* read feeds everywhere and sync them via NG.com

Bugs to track down

• aboutToQuit() is not called when manually removing the resource via akonadiconsole (tracked down). aboutToQuit() is called from within AgentBase::quit() so it's invoked only in the second case:
  • When removing a resource via akonadiconsole the calling sequence is:
    • AgentManager::removeInstance(instance)
    • org::freedesktop::Akonadi::AgentManager::removeAgentInstance(id) - via D-Bus
    • org::freedesktop::Akonadi::Agent::Control::cleanup() - via D-Bus
  • When removing a resource at 'akonadictl stop' the calling sequence is:
    • org::freedesktop::Akonadi::AgentManager::~AgentManager() - from akonadictl
    • org::freedesktop::Akonadi::AgentManager::AgentManager::cleanup()
    • org::freedesktop::Akonadi::Agent::Control::quit() - via D-Bus for every agent
