+Some web sites provide an Atom Syndication Format feed.  Atom is a web
+feed format similar in function to RDF Site Summary (@pxref{RSS}).
+
+The @code{nnatom} back end allows you to add HTTP or local Atom feeds as
+Gnus servers, by adding them to @code{gnus-secondary-select-methods} or
+as foreign servers by pressing "B" in the @file{*Group*} buffer, for
+example (@pxref{Finding the News}).  The address of each server is its
+feed's location (though the address shouldn't be prefixed with <http://> or
+<https://>) and each server contains a single group which holds the
+feed's entries.

+Features of @code{nnatom} include:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item
+Server data is saved per-server in the @file{atom} sub-directory of
+@file{gnus-directory}.
+
+@item
+An article part is generated for both the summary and the content for
+each entry in the feed.  Content of all MIME types should be displayed
+correctly through Gnus (as long as they are supported and the feed
+specifies a MIME type).

+Article modification and publish dates are tracked, and articles are

+@node Web Feed Back Ends
+@subsubsection Web Feed Back Ends
+
+If you want to write a back end for a new type of web feed (RSS,
+Atom), or some other type of feed, an ``abstract'' back end
+(@code{nnfeed}) exists to enable the creation of such back ends with
+minimal knowledge of Gnus.
+
+@code{nnfeed} defines a generic parser, which uses functions stored in
+server variables to parse information from a feed (@code{nnfeed}
+itself doesn't actually define any such functions though).
+
+The data parsed from the feed is stored in server variables (and
+stored per-feed in a sub-directory of @option{gnus-directory} whose name
+corresponds to the name of the back end).
+
+A Gnus back end interface is also defined, which uses the data parsed
+from the feed.
+
+Therefore, a new back end only needs to inherit from @code{nnfeed},
+define (fairly) generic parsing functions for the feed type and setup
+the required server variables.
+
+@code{nnfeed} was originally created to support Atom Syndication
+Format feeds (@pxref{Atom}), but is very generic (as of writing this,
+no standard web feed exists which can meaningfully use all the
+features supported): it supports multiple groups contained in a single
+feed, it allows for situations when the entire feed can't (or
+shouldn't) be read ahead of time and it allows for very advanced
+customization of the actual printing of articles from parsed data
+(while providing a reasonably powerful default method).
+
+Further implementation details are available in the documentation
+strings of the various @code{nnfeed-*} server variables and
+the commentary and other comments of @file{nnfeed.el}.

+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; Generic Gnus backend (intended) for implementing backends for web
+;; feeds (Atom, RSS).
+;;
+;; This backend is abstract - it doesn't implement a parser for any
+;; specific web feed type, and so can't be used independently.
+;;
+;; Instead, it implements a generic parser, feed data storage and most
+;; of the Gnus backend interface; the intended use for this backend is
+;; to be a source of inheritance for backends supporting new web feed
+;; types.
+;;
+;; To implement new backends, use `nnfeed-define-basic-backend-interface':
+;;
+;;    ...
+;;    (require 'nnfeed)
+;;
+;;    (nnoo-declare nnfoo nnfeed)
+;;
+;;    (nnfeed-define-basic-backend-interface nnfoo)
+;;    ...
+;;    [  definitions of parsing functions, see the "Feed parser interface"
