Support for RSS flows

Description: An RSS flow could be easily represented in an instant messaging manner by showing RSS sources as IM contacts/buddies and flow content as instant messages. Doing so in SIP Communicator would mean adding a simple IM protocol implementation around an existing RSS stack.

This implementation would make RSS sources appear to the user as instant messaging buddies:

New RSS events would be displayed to the user as incoming instant messages sent by the RSS source buddy.

In this project you would have to:

• Determine which would be the best library to use for RSS support
• Write an implementation of the SIP Communicator ProtocolProviderService over the RSS stack.
• Create unit tests that test your protocol provider.
