I'm a looking for an experienced coder to develop a server side RSS feed aggregator that will run from cron, aggregating multiple RSS/Atom feeds to generate output in multiple customizable formats including HTML, RSS and Javascript.
I also need the ability to
1) ban articles from specific sites
2) automatically eliminate article duplicates
3) control the frequency of RSS updates
And for the final users the option to
1) filter the newly created master feed by topic and/or source
2) set up lists of sites to ignore
3) monitor the aggregated feeds for specific keywords and receive an immediate alert when new information is published
There are a number of existing server side RSS aggregators that I'm aware of and I'll provide a list to interested bidders. I personally don't have any preference for one script over the rest as long as it can be customized with the features listed above and easily adapted to different websites modifying the HTML output and the list of feeds to aggregate.
