Nick Lothian joins the Rome project as a developer We're proud to announce that Nick Lothian, alias BadMagicNumber of Classifier4J fame (a text classification library, including a an implementation of a Bayesian classifier) joined Project Rome as a developer today.
Following this email:
I've been using Rome a bit since you released it, and generally I'm pretty impressed.
One suggestion I have is for support of conditional gets (see http://fishbowl.pastiche.org/2002/10/21/http_conditional_get_for_rss_hackers ) and gzip encoding handling to be built into the library itself.
we've had a discussion in the Rome dev mailing list and he came up with some code to implement it. This will be structured as an external library, since many people developing their own fetcher system may want to use Rome just for the parsing and generation and we want to keep the library small and focused. This fetcher library will be part of the Rome codebase, in the modules directory, and be released on its own schedule.
We're really glad that Nick chose to contribute this to Rome: this is an aspect that was handled by Mark Pilgrim's Universal Parser Python library that we had no time to implement, and I'm sure many developers will use this to create their fetcher.
