Yes it is very counter-intuitive and it only has a very limited source 
list but you have to remember that it was written by a student as a 
summer internship/project. Considering that of the 8 or so interns only 
1 or 2 actually made some usable code I would say that its a very nice 
effort. I dont really expect the devs to improve this code anytime soon 
since they have some pressing deadlines for important stuff and are busy 
with that effort. Feel free to toss in your hat and improve it if you 
can. Basically it needs a scraper for a decent web info source or a rss 
feed or whatever.
