It's an aggregator for enterprise networking postings (i.e., stuff about networking in large organizations). It uses 4.4.1 with the import and trip_search modules and xtemplate. Thanks to all the folks who worked on these!
One of the things I changed in the node and trip_search modules and in xtemplate.theme was where links go to. By default, when you use the import module, links for individual items go to nodes on your site. On an aggregator site, though, that could be frustrating for users, because if they want to see the complete posting, they'd want to click to the originating site, not click to a node on your site, and then, from there, click to the actual source site. So now all the links actually point back to the originating URL (basically via some logic along the lines of
if ($node->type == "item"
then get the originating URL, not the node ID).
I'm using trip_search because it provides a teaser along with a link. Right now, import is bringing in about 200 feeds - so far, so good, although getting to /admin/system/feeds takes longer and longer as I add more feeds. One odd thing: The 4.4 version of the module seems to reject a lot more feeds than the 4.3 version (especially, for some odd reason, Typepad feeds).
