Rewrite /ebdata/scrapers/general/georss/ as an RssListDetailScraper #235

Closed slinkp closed 12 years ago

slinkp commented 12 years ago

The RssListDetailScraper supports extracting location data in more formats than the ad-hoc code in georss/retrieval.py, which only supports georss-simple.

It would be straightforward to rewrite, as an example look at general/seeclickfix/seeclickfix_retrieval.py

Conversely, the georss/retrieval.py script supports getting location_name from relevant xcal or georss elements. That should be folded back in to RssListDetailScraper.

Also should support the ev namespace for location names, as per http://web.resource.org/rss/1.0/modules/event/
