hy While surfing through github I've found this project. I stopped by as few days back i was working on the same idea as yours (even my landing page is almost identical :D ). Coincidently I've seen a Bangladeshi guy asking question in a Bangladeshi forum about permission for scrapping newspaper websites. You might have noticed some android Apps trying to make something out of the same idea. Now I assume there are some scattered efforts on going in this same idea. Though I've started the project to learn about "scrapping", latter a feeling for making something useful out of it came. Like making summery of news, aggregating news on same topic, making a trending list. But I don't have working knowledge on NLP let alone BNLP. So i backed off for then but wish to work on this. And i think there are scopes for working here as there is no truly useful news aggregation service for Bangladesh (even google news ain't ok enough like other countries) So what's your thoughts on this project? Would you care to share?

Hi, My idea was to start with "Bangla News Aggregator" application. Then expose those news via an REST API so these news could be consumed easily.

But, I could not spend much time on it, if you want I would happily add you as a collaborator. So you can enhance the project and also it will motivate me to spend some more time with this project :)

well then both of us in same page.Though my wish was to make some service on top of newspaper/news-portals, now i see aggregation of news should be very first task to start with. And distributing that via REST will make more creative usage of newspaper contents easy for others. So I'm on it. I think primarily we should come up with some rode-map. And thus we may should Define our goal more specifically.
I've already given a glance at your code but I'll incest some more time on existing code in coming days.
