There's been some recent discussion around how best to provide
aggregation of the OpenSolaris blogger's feeds. The main problem seems
to be the overhead of managing all the feeds, so I'd like to propose the
following:
1. Auth is extended with an additional field for each user, which will
contain the URL of their blog feed, if they have one.
2. An XML-RPC interface is provided so that Planet can extract the list
of registered feeds (we already have a Python interface to Auth).
3. An XWiki macro is provided to display just the feeds for a specific
CG/UG/P.
We already have a 'Homepage URL' field, that will remain unchanged.
We will only export feed info for people who have Leader, Affiliate or
Developer status to prevent malicious injection of feeds in to the ones
we aggregate.
By doing this we can remove the current pain of having to manage all the
feeds centrally.
If that sounds OK, I'll log a RFE.
