Reparsing decision (Timing) #2

Closed nullisnil closed 13 years ago

Its required to decide how often parsed websites are fetched.

I assume we do not want to know and wait to see if a page updates. The parts fetching the pages should find this out on their own.

Time Data is returned as a string gem 'chronic' should be used to parse the date/time this may change from data source to data source.

This is provided through the update_interval column in the data_sources table.
