NAME

AxKit::App::TABOO::Provider::NewsList - Provider for listing news stories in TABOO

DESCRIPTION

This is a Provider, it implements the AxKit Provider API, and therefore contains no method that anybody should use for anything. For that reason, this documentation deals with what you should expect to be returned for different URIs.

It will return lists of news stories, so it makes use of Plural Stories objects.

In accordance with the TABOO philosophy, it interacts with Data objects, that are Perl objects responsible for retrieving data from a data storage, make up sensible data structures, return XML markup, etc. In contrast with the News provider, this provider mainly interacts with Plural objects to make lists of stories. Also, it doesn't deal with comments.

TODO

Actually, what's non-trivial is to configure both the News and NewsList providers to work at the same time. That's a TODO for the next release.

XSL Transformations need to be done soon too.

Since every resource comes with a lasttimestamp, it should be relatively simple to implement mtime better than it is now, but the question is if all code updates lasttimestamp reliably enough...

BUGS

Well, it is an alpha, so there can be bugs...
