OK, I'll see that this makes it into CVS. I guess this would also be
useful for rss-hash and atom-hash.

Well, using atom-hash is as simple as putting

(setq shimbun-atom-hash-group-path-alist
      '(("PlanetEmacsen" "http://planet.emacsen.org/atom.xml" t)
	("Stackoverflow: Emacs" "http://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag/emacs" t)))
      
in your .gnus and restarting Emacs. After that, you can subscribe to
those two groups by choosing the atom-hash shimbun. Since Planet Emacsen
and Stackoverflow publish the full content in their feed, atom-hash can
be used here.

For creating an atom-blogs shimbun for feeds without fully published
content, you would start with sb-rss-blogs and derive the main class
from shimbun-atom instead of shimbun-rss. However, the main task is to
get familiar with luna, which is an object system for Emacs Lisp and
used throughout the shimbun library.
