We have a Feed plugin (used by XWiki Watch BTW) that can be used to fetch Blog feeds and aggregate them. Unfortunately we don't have any doc yet about the Feed plugin on code.xwiki.org Here are the sources you can check to see how to use it: http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-core/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/plugin/feed/ > Would be cool to do the cloud as well though I suspect I'll need > to try and cache an aggregated 'lookup' before attempting that > feat. > > Finally, I'm currently working under a particular constraint - > the version of xwiki I'm using is v1.5.2.12758. Unless you really like beating yourself I recommend you upgrade.... ;) That said, the Feed plugin has existed for a long time so it probably works fine. -Vincent > Any pointers re: best practice for a) embedding javascript in the > page as per the twitter object and b) blog post aggregation and > ideally c) some demo markup anyone could share and would be > totally delighted if d) anyone wants to tell me how they'd do or > have done the tag cloud from an aggregated feed. > > Kind Regards, > Ed. > > PS.
