RSS Aggregator Without Delusions Of Grandeur

rawdog is an RSS (and other) feed aggregator, based on Mark Pilgrim's flexible feed parser. It's just an aggregator; it's not a weblog authoring tool, nor is it an NNTP gateway, outliner, mailserver or anything else.

rawdog reads articles from a number of feeds and writes out a single HTML file, based on a template either provided by the user or generated by rawdog, containing the latest articles it's seen. It uses the ETags and Last-Modified headers to avoid fetching a file that hasn't changed, and supports gzip compression to reduce bandwidth when it has.
