I missed out on that vote, but FWIW, I have no problem with an aggregator, or even a hosted blogger for ASF committers; it's at the same level as http://www.apache.org/~committer/. Disclaimers suffice. No policing needed, though if someone posts another example from www.goatse.cx, I think the infrastructure@ team reserves the right to step in. But pulling back, perhaps a way to address Noel's concern is to have this aggregator only pull content from the RSS feeds that the blogger marks as somehow being Apache-related. RSS allows arbitrary metadata, right? Is there an easy way to mark a post in most blogger tools as "Apache-related" or something? That way someone can rant on and on about their favorite political subject in their blog, but meanwhile only their Apache-related posts get aggregated at the ASF's site.
