Is there any work being done on enabling News Page to work with aggregator2 nodes?
If not, how is it possible to build new node or block containing:
-- the title/teaser of all nodes
-->all items containing user-specified keywords
---->from all nodes of a specific node type
---->from all nodes tagged with a specific category term
unless
-->they contain user-specified 'exclusion keywords'
any help welcomed!

I used the views module with
I used the views module with the node title filter to achieve similar results. However the Views node title filter will not allow multiple keywords to be provided. I think it should be a simple case of creating a new module which exposes a better node title filter that will allow multiple keywords.
I'm going to need this functionality at some point too, however too busy to work on something at present.

NewsPage2 - ideas
Thinking about this, the best solution I can see would be to enable creation of a new 'news page' node with aggregator2 is to base the node on Drupal's advanced search results.
-- this method would enable exclusion keywords to be used and taxonomy term filters to be added
-- perhaps with a daily cron, a new revision could be made, enabling tracking of how the keyword news page evolves over time (with diff)
-- additional filters might also be added to clean up irrelevant search results... any ideas?
