The O'Reilly mess

O'Reilly has been doing all sorts of tinkering with their feeds and such, and the results are largely a mess. I won't do too much wailing about it here, but Jeni touches on some of the problems. It was a pain to extract useful information for reflecting ORA on Copia, so it's captured here:

My new author feed (broadcast.oreilly.com only): http://broadcast.oreilly.com/uche-ogbuji/atom.xml
Direct link to an HTML listing of all blog posts (including non-broadcast): http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/1054#Blog I had to go sleuthing on planet.xmlhack.com to find the $@#%! feed for these old posts. What's up with bog-simple feed discovery?
Feed of all blog posts (including non-broadcast): http://www.oreillynet.com/feeds/author/?x-au=1054 Found by sleuthing on planet.xmlhack.com ... <sigh>

Outdated info

To-do

Fix imports
- Characters
- Distinguish authorship -- too difficult. Must do by hand.
Set up Google ads

Set-up and import

Download the import-copia.py script.

Download copia.ini.

We use tagsoup to clean up the entries upon import. It should be enough to download the tagsoup jar file to the same location as the import-copia.py script.

The ogbuji template is at: http://hg.4suite.org/sandbox/ogbuji/copia-template/ (read/write repository at ssh://hg.4suite.org//var/local/hg/sandbox/ogbuji/copia-template ). It's based on this "open source" design

hg clone ssh://hg.4suite.org//var/local/hg/sandbox/ogbuji/copia-template ogbuji

The Copia template then be placed in the template directory, peer to a couple of other dependencies from templates. Below is a directory listing of Copia install once set up.
