Thanks for your suggestions regarding integrating Woodchuck into FeedingIt!

I've sent some patches to Yves to:

- Not hard-code the update interval, but to respect the configuration setting.
- To add an option in the settings dialog to enable/disable Woodchuck.
- To prompt the user the first time he/she starts FeedingIt whether they'd like to install Woodchuck, if Woodchuck is not detected.

Changing Woodchuck to perform updates over 3G is a bit more tricky: lots of users have low data caps. I have a plan, which is to introduce per-connection policies to Woodchuck. Users would then briefly describe the data plan the first time they connect (unlimited, 100 MB/month, .24 per MB, etc.) and Woodchuck would use this to decide whether to schedule updates over the connection.
