## about
*feed-to-muc* is a XMPP which queries Atom or RSS newsfeeds and
posts the short summary to a XMPP MUC if there is a new article.
## disclaimer
I am no programmer and this bot is a result of a lot of *try and error*.
There are probably lots of quirks that are remains of some wrong paths
I went in between. Also a lot is probably solved in a *hacky way* due
to missing experience.
Anyway, it works (for me at least) and so I upload this here.
Recommendations about what can be done better improved and so on are
very welcome.
## requirements
* [go](https://golang.org/)
## installation
If you have *[GOPATH](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/SettingGOPATH)*
set just run this commands:
```
$ go get salsa.debian.org/mdosch-guest/feed-to-muc

```
You will find the binary in `$GOPATH/bin` or, if set, `$GOBIN`.
