Planet LAD

Random thought spurred by the "feeds are good" tangent of the LV2
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.

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.

Cheers,

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

Setting it up is not a problem. Styling and Content maintenance is.
Are you fixed on planet? Maybe the current drupal can do what you want
with minor config changes.

so long,

Thats an rss feed of the mailing lists posts.

A planet is a completely different thing all together. Personally
I never grab the RSS feed of any of the planets I read, I'd
rather read them directly.

I pretty sure that drupal can't do the same thing as a planet aggregator.

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)

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.

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 :)

me too, kinda, but at least having a planet makes a central place to
collect that community-specific list of feeds -- and you can browse
the planet to see who you'd like to follow.

There is already something similar at linuxmusicians (though not specifically
geared towards developers or users yet):

  http://planet.linuxmusicians.com/

If you have any recommendations about other good feeds, drop me a note and
i'll be happy to add them.
