admin/content/feed should display the current content types that are feed enabled (as a subtask); if no content types are feed enabled and the feed_aggregator module isn't enabled either, let me add a new feed type linked directly from there.

+1 for a better management page.

I drew up some ideas over my Nicaragua vacation. Here is what I imagine should be on a good management page:

| Title | last checked | % of duplicates per check |  avrg. update rate | feed items downl. per update | avrg downl. time |
| Drupal planet | 20 min ago | 10 % | every 45 min | 5 | 5.3 s |
|...|
| Total average | 31 min ago | 31.4 % | every 55 min | 4.2 | 7.8 s |

The "% of duplicatges per check" will give an excellent overview of wether everything gets downloaded or not. If there are NO duplicates, we must assume that there might have been feed items that we didn't download because the download frequency is too low (especially in the case of chronologically ordered feeds like news feeds).

A good feedback on the download state of all feeds in the system is indespensible for heavy duty applications and I it would be a strong reason for site builders and maintainers to decide to use feedapi.

if no content types are feed enabled and the feed_aggregator module isn't enabled either, let me add a new feed type linked directly from there.

I would rather create 1 content type automatically with a good preset.

automatically create content type: on installation of course.

Having a default content type provided upon installation would also make it easier for migration scripts from other parser packages ;-)

About the management page: it 'll be improved (actually it changed a little bit from the beginning)
The new fields: to show these detailed analytics of feed downloading, the module should store more info in feedapi table. It's not a problem, i just mentioned it.
About content-types: I assume there will be two content-types by default. There is a ticket for it already: http://drupal.org/node/164907

All the above statistical information is gathered and displayed at the management page.
