Diffengine prototypes

- Installing Diffengine
- Selecting RSS news feed (online journalism)
- Configuring diffengine to check out feeds every 5 min
- Monitor RSS feeds and download content changes (if there are) as jpg & html

Forthcoming prototypes:

- Install "Twarc" to extract content updated content from Twitter
- Install "Feedme" to create RSS for any website that doesn't provide it (it can monitor Facebook groups but not single users)
- Try to monitor with diffengine these new RSS feed created with feedme, so we can see their content changing.
- Convert autom html files to txt files using python, as they happen to be created by diffengine
- Use Python + Beautiful Soup to count specific words from txt file and extract a list of most used.
- Use Python + Beautiful Soup to count number of changes.
- Compare ranking words & changes on each txt file (rss feed article). Maybe this table can be updated automatically?
- Install raspberry pi
- Create a database (MongoDB or SQL like databases), small forms, javascript snippets, etc. Example: "Wikileaks" structure
- Database offers access to raw materials/content, and to additional features such as collaborations from invited figures (they could be essays, articles, comments, interviews, a peace of code, or anything really).
- Find these collaborations (e.g."Arxivem el moment", "docnow", 1-O computer scientists, social organizations, ONGs, independent journalists, politicians, students, newspaper directors in relation to specific news,...)
- Upload files to this database autom as they happen to be created by diffengine
- Design database!
- Use onion browser like Tor to keep the users and the database IP protected from online surveillance, and as a way to reinforce and support freedom of speech against network censorship from state power.
