- something like 'update blog with fresh, randomly choosen rss entries every second day' or so
- crop all images in a feed to a specific width (while keeping the proportions)
- add a prefix (for tracking) to the links in the feed
I wished there was a possibility to make all feeds from different sponsors look the same, because of the differences a blog can really look messy...
other than that I'm very happy with abpsa :-)

For automatic updates, I just cron the three files it runs in the "run abp" step. We don't update with random RSS entries, as we support dates pulled from the feed. This updates as the feed updates, with the correct date. We haven't wanted to put in a crop tool, as we want to A) maximize compatibility (I mean, sheesh, some people are running MySQL 3 -- think they have ImageMagick or similar installed?), and B) limit the amount of changes to a feed owner's content -- after all, we're syndicating their stuff, not trying to rip them off. I am sensitive to the desire to have a blog look homogenous, but I feel this can usually be done using CSS. You can certainly add a prefix (or suffix) using the Rewrite engine, but support for Regex will be added back in with version 1.1.
Again, GFY isn't our support system of choice, and if I miss any of your questions because they were here and not in a ticket, I apologize in advance! :)
