Title: Adding additional features

1) All of the imported posts seem to get attributed to the admin author of the site they're imported to. We should try to get the author from RSS item (or at least the source organization) and use that to replace the byline using the largo_byline_text and largo_byline_link custom fields that already exist in Largo.

2) Is there a way to not show these posts when I go to Posts > View All? It's going to be overwhelming/confusing for publishers to see these posts there. What I had initially envisioned was more like a dashboard widget when a user first logs into wordpress that shows recent feed items from other INN members that are available to republish as posts. Can we get something closer to that instead of having them in the main list of posts? Maybe what we need is a standalone WP instance that has the sole purpose of storing all of the feed items and then the other publisher sites just pull from that only when they want to actually republish a story? I'm open to suggestions here.

3) In the feed setup I'd like to enter both the feed URL and the organization name (probably comma separated, on the same line), so:

100 Reporters, http://100r.org/tag/inn/feed/
Aspen Journalism, http://aspenjournalism.org/feed/

etc.

So that we'd be able to add a custom field (or maybe build a custom taxonomy) to each imported post from a given source that would allow us to keep track of and organize the imported posts by publisher.

4) Another thing I think we'd want to account for is a way to purge old feed items that were not selected to be republished so we don't wind up storing all feed items forever (because that would probably be a little crazy).
