Hi Tomek,
in general I like this Idea. Just for your information, do you know
http://www.groovytweets.org. This is a twitter aggregator of groovy
related tweets implemented by Sven Haiges. He implemented this with
grails
on the google appengine. have a look at it. This aggregator is not
categorized as a new resource for gradle related posts, tweets or
whatever should be, but its a good example for an aggregator. Sven keeps
interested people informed about new features and problems he came
across
via his twitter account (@hansamann)
I don't know a good provider about such an aggregator. In my opinion the
google appengine and grails is the perfect match for an aggregator
about a
groovy based build tool, isn't it?
regards,
Rene Groeschke

Hi all,
my proposal is to create a page which would show how very thriving the
Gradle community is. :) It is a custom thing for projects, to have
kind of a blog rss aggregator which allows people interested in this
project to easily get information about what's new, what's going on,
what new ideas related to this project bloggers have etc. This comes
in many flavors, from the small box on the main page listing the
titles of latest blog posts, to the fully-fledged "planet" solutions
like http://www.planetkde.org/, http://planet.mozilla.org/ or
http://planet.ubuntu.com/. Such blog aggregators also differ in whose
blogs are allowed to be added to this aggregator - only developers of
the project or just anyone blogging about it.
I think it would be good to have such an blog aggregator to make
latests posts about Gradle easily accessible for Gradle community. The
number of Gradle related blog posts is not very impressive right now
but hopefully this will change, so the idea is maybe not for today but
for the future.
I have noticed that there is such page:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GRADLE/External+Resources but I
suspect it is updated "by hand" which guarantees it will not be up to
date (I think we all know, that such tasks if not automated ends up
like this).
This is only an idea, and I have to admit, I have no experience with
setting such blog aggregators (I mean the technical side of the
problem). Maybe someone have such experience and would be willing to
help ? Maybe there are some good tools which makes it easy (like the
http://inquiryapp.com/ used for Gradle's FAQ) ?
But first of all - what do you think about this ?
