XUL-Channels is dead

In not so good news, XUL-Channels is dead. XUL-Channels has been an online RSS aggregation service that used Mozilla's XUL capabilities for its GUI. MySQL perfomance requirements exceeded what the author's web hoster allowed for, so he took it off the net. I followed XUL-Channels' growth from its very beginning and really liked its basic concept and many of the ideas in it, but it has been clear that at some point, a code rewrite and heavy optimization would be necessary. The existing souce code has been released under the GPL license, so everyone can work on it (thanks, Tim!) - I am sure some of the code will fit into the XUL-based blogroll aggregator I am working on.
