Up to you.

Yes, that's why I recommended it.  It parses pretty much every format
out there, doesn't lock up Gnus while it's polling, and I can access it
from anywhere because I set it up on a server.  Whether it's been
updated since Wednesday doesn't matter too much, considering RSS formats
and NNTP are not changing much these days.  Also, I speak Java so if I
have to I can fix what's broken myself.
