I tried very hard to setup my own instance as well going through the fabfile.py to figure out things, but I hit a point where I simply couldn't go ahead on my Debian Squeeze installation. I'd love to have a very good documentation on the installation process. Also there seem to be a lot of stuff that need to be installed and configured that might not be necessary for single-user/<10 user instances. Yeah the 'fetching the feed part' still needs to be done, but I guess right now it is close to impossible for anyone apart from yourself to be able to understand how to do that. Due to the mass exodus from Google Reader, I understand that NewsBlur has faced challenges in scaling and hence is slow. But things can only get better from here. Since it in open source software, you should at least setup a getting started developer's guide so that you will get a lot more contributions from the community.
