+# Atomstrom
+
+Atomstrom is a simple aggregator for RSS and Atom feeds.
+
+It's written in Python and uses some well known and well tested modules:
+
+* Feeds are parsed by [Universal Feed Parser](http://code.google.com/p/feedparser/)
+* Database is accessed via [SQLAlchemy](http://www.sqlalchemy.org/)
+* Entry content can be fetched as full web page content, or using [python-readability](https://github.com/buriy/python-readability), a Python port of [Readability](http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/).
+
+Since SQLAlchemy is quite versatile, it should be possible to use either MySQL or SQLite as database backend (tested only with MySQL so far).
+
+## Completed Features
+
+* Each feed has it's own configuration as of when mails are sent:
+  * either send one mail for every news item, immediately after it has been collected
+  * or include every news item from a feed into a 'daily digest'
+
+## Planned Features
+
+* add and remove newsfeeds with command line parameters, configuration of the feeds is kept in the database
