[ubuntu-in] Query regarding RSS feed reader capable of downloading articles for offline reading

[Ramnarayan.K]

Apart from Lucidor, there seems to be yet another candidate for a
(any) working rss feed reader that downloads *complete* articles for
offline use

check out Mr Postman at

(am trying to install it right now)
http://mrpostman.sourceforge.net/index.html

***
On another note (in the context of the sad availability of a software)

am wondering what it would take for an ordinary user like me to be
able to request someone to make a plugin / script etc to enable a
regular rss feed reader to become one that downloads articles for
offline use.

The way i see it almost everything is in place already - the software
already knows what to get and even from where and all that is required
if for the process to get automated where the feed reader just
downloads the article for use. / storage / archiving.

Someone had made a script for liferea but that does not work -see this
http://pigeond.net/blog/2009/07/03/liferea-really-offline-reading-conversion-filter-script/#comment-23973

but there are some errors (as posted on the blog) so it does not
really work, so any one interested in taking this python script and
making it better ??

Am not a programmer and don't even have the foggiest idea of even how
to start so would be grateful if someone looks at this. (script and
the general issue)
