I know this is a big suggestion at this stage of the process, but I was wondering if Feed Feeder could have an option to generate feed items into standard Plone content instead:
- Items with no content body into a 'link' content type
- Items with a content body into a 'document' content type
- Items with images into a 'image' content type

This seems more future proof. I'd love comments on the idea (and how this sits with alternatives under development that do / don't know about like vice)

I use Plone 3.x

This could lead to problems when the feed items gets updated. During the first run an item has no content body so we create a Link. During the second run it has a body so now we want to have a Document. During the third run an mp3 file was added so now we want to make it a File, or change the item to a folder and add a file there. So: I see too much possible trouble here.

And indeed this is a big suggestion at this stage of the process. So I will reject this.

Perhaps this is something you can do in a separate package?
