Feeds integration is great, but it does require a bit of extra work to get it going: create 2 (!) new content types (for feed + feed items); add lots of CCK fields; override the kivafeeds importer; map all the fields; etc.

Seems like kivafeeds could be more plug-and-play if it:

  • auto-created a feed item content-type and pre-mapped the fields
  • allowed you to auto-create feeds of loans using the form in kiva_admin_settings()

Maybe keep this functionality into a separate module?
