Hello,
I just thought we could win some good Ideas from exisiting projects.
As Hans already mentioned there are some other existing aggregators
like groovyblogs.org. But there are some nice things about
groovytweets.org which made it worth to be mentioned here:
1. Sven made the sources available at github (http://github.com/hansamann/groovytweets/tree
)
2. Its written in groovy/grails which is maybe one of the prefered
technologies for that here on the gradle list.
3. It's hosted at the google appengine which made it "easy" and cheap
to deploy.
As you wrote, you havn't got any experience in writing such an
aggregator, so learning from an existing code base is a good point to
start.
I would like to see something similiar for gradle; Aggregating blog
posts AND tweets. Differentiating here doesn't make sence.
regards,
René Groeschke

Hi Rene,
thanks for your email.
I'm not sure what do you suggest. Do you think I should contact Sven
Haiges so we can use his tool, or do you suggest we should write a
similar one ? Sorry if I miss something obvious.
I'm also not sure how twitts compares to blog posts. I mean, is it
possible to have both aggregated in one place ? I see you can also RSS
them, so I guess it is possible.

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?

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 ?
