And I guess nothing will be done with that. I guess Lightread isn't developed anymore since the last change was introduced in 2012-07-23 (https://code.launchpad.net/lightread). I guess Lightread is dead.

I could be wrong, but wouldn't it just take someone adjusting the code to allow the import of a feed list in the form of an .xml file? I have no idea how this would be done, I am not a programmer! Just an idea...

Feedly is cloning the API:

Guys the development has not stopped. The reason that the last commit is on 2012-07-23 is because the code hosting is done in Github while we use Launchpad for Bug Triaging and PPA to distribute software. That said, we are yet to receive word from the original developer regarding his plans on what to do about the Google Reader issue.

Great! Will you use feedly as source?

Less than a week to go until Google Reader is shut down. Hopefully this bug is fixed soon.

We've applied for API access for Feedly but have not heard back so far. We recommend using the web version of Feedly until Lightread is fixed.

Any update on Feedly support? It seems that they now have an open API, right?

We'll do our best to get on to it. We'll try to get a new release out the door by mid october. That said, no guarantees.
