I have nodes being generated from a Feeds import on a periodic basis, however when they are imported I would like them to be queued to be published on an hourly basis (or x minutes)

I have looked at Scheduler and also Publish Queue. But those modules require input. I want this done automatically, so that as soon as nodes are created via feeds they are put into a queue to be published over a set interval of time.

How can I make this happen? Maybe I can just code this myself if there is no option out there. Something along those lines might work:

• Get oldest node unpublished node
• Publish node
• Run this code once every cron run

Any suggestions?
