Random thought spurred by the "feeds are

discussion:
It would be really nice to have a Planet LAD (like e.g. Planet Gnome
http://planet.gnome.org/ ). Having these things in your RSS reader
makes it really easy to keep up on what people are up to in general.
We were pondering a while ago to open the drupal behind
linuxaudio.org
to public contributions. The main problem was and is to have a dedicated
group of editors who maintain the content on a regular basis. The
current focus for that is on
wiki.linuxaudio.org.
As for feeds, you can already subscribe to mailing list posts via
http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lad/feed
http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lau/feed
http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/laa/feed
The wiki has it's own feed:
http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/feed.php
and a list of updated applications is available from:
http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/feed.php?mode=list&ns=apps:all
As Erik pointed out, these things are quite different from a planet.
The idea behind a planet is to get blog posts from a bunch of
independent developers aggregated in one place with a common topic (in
this case, LAD)
I don't
know how many blog, but having such a thing would probably be an
incentive to actually do so. Anyone adminney at
linuxaudio.org
interested in setting up such a thing? It seems like a straightforward
install assuming Python is available.
Setting it up is not a problem. Styling and Content maintenance is.
Couldn't care less about styling, and there's no content maintenance
(100% of the content is just aggregated feeds). The only maintenance
task is adding peoples feeds on request, I guess.
Are you fixed on planet? Maybe the current drupal can
do what you want
with minor config changes.
There's an 'aggregator' module in drupal, but I don't know anything
about it. Maybe. Planet is just kind of The Thing to use for this :)
