Hi all

I'm trying to come up with features for future versions of rss2book and would welcome suggestions, both for new features and for the desirability of the various items listed below. What I have on my list so far:

Low Hanging Fruit

msi installer. Not sure if this is really much better than the current .zip file approach.

help file

categories for published feeds (news, opinion, blogs, tech, software development, etc), with a tree view when subscribing

Medium Difficulty

make rss2book clean up the html before passing it to the back end converters. Amongst other things it would be good to normalise header levels (so that all top level headers are <h1>, etc)

support for tables

table of contents support

auto-updater for new versions of rss2book

cookies and login support for sites that need that

sync plugins, so Sony Reader synching is a plugin and potentially can sync to other devices - but are there any others that matter and which are open enough to be implemented?

Big Fish (either big jobs or jobs I'm unsure of difficulty)

output plugin for .chm and .lit

output plugin for BBeB

output plugin for FB

input plugins - make the whole RSS front end a plugin, which the possibility of other plugins that produce HTML (wikipedia, Gutenberg, etc)
