This plugin monitors a <a href="http://www.intertwingly.net/code/venus/" title="Planet Venus" rel="nofollow ugc">Planet Venus</a> cache 
directory and syndicates new entries as posts. 
It automagically creates users and categories as necessary.
The plugin was originally released on <a href="http://www.wasab.dk/morten/blog/archives/2006/10/22/wp-venus" title="WP: Venus" rel="nofollow ugc">Binary Relations</a> by <a href="http://www.wasab.dk/morten/" rel="nofollow ugc">Morten Frederiksen</a>.
<h3>Maintenance</h3>
When running correctly, the WordPress Venus plugin automatically adds users, categories and posts as needed, based on the information in the Atom entry files from the Venus cache directory. Each Atom entry file is only parsed when created or updated, so you may update existing posts, categories and users in WordPress as needed, in case something looks odd — your changes will not be overwritten unless the entry file is updated. If you delete a post, the plugin will try to remove the corresponding Atom entry file in the cache directory as well. For that to work, the web server process needs write permission to the cache directory.
If you find that the same users suddenly appears more than once in the WordPress user system (this may happen if the same user posts from different sources), you can use the Venus options screen to merge the two into one. The merge will be preserved for future arriving posts. This is accomplished by storing unique IDs for each user, as can be seen and maintained on the user edit screen.
Since the plugin scans the Venus cache directory to look for updates, you will likely find, that it slows down after a while. You may want to clean out the cache directory every now and then, possibly through the use of a cron job, and Venus’s -x switch.
