Support RSS as a solution for adding updates to ZIM archives?

Maybe a potential solution for keeping an archive updated would be to add support for parsing and adding RSS feeds content in to the zim archive? That may work if the source has indeed feeds to subscribe to.

This is an idea ... not sure it will work in most cases, so I'm kinda concerned it might be low prio to implement. Not speaking about the fact that we cannot update a ZIM archive but have to recreate it, so we will know both the old ZIM + the RSS feed to create the new version. Conceptually understandable, probably pretty hard to implement.

I understand .. and keeping the old WARC files maybe? But I see most likely not happening thanks for explaining ;) Should I close it?
