I would therefore like to discuss the idea of implementing kind of modules (containing perl code) to handle specific formatting of index and content pages.

Kind regards

I'd refrain from publishing something that is hardwired for a single feed (as the Standard), but the idea to provide something like "plugins" tailored for specific feeds sounds like a very good on. (I think something similar has already been done by kovidgoyal for the Sony, mentioned a few posts upwards...)
But I'm afraid that this road would/will (further) alienate
non-perl speaking people from getfeed, unless some default behaviour remains in the core for standard feeds, that don't need special processing.
However, the more I think about it, the more I warm to the idea ... (some ideas have already started popping up
)
If anyone has already thought out something in this direction, please speak out!
Tommy
