For blogs.opensolaris.org or planet.opensolaris.org? The two are
rather different.
blogs.opensolaris.org is just an alias for opensolaris.org, and that now
redirects to hub. I was thinking more of Planet, and the ability to
embed feeds inside hub CG/UG/P pages.
Do we want to keep planet with manual editorial control? I think there
are advantages
to doing so.
I think the issue is that the editorial burden is a bit *too* burdensome.
1. Auth is extended with an additional field for each user, which will
contain the URL of their blog feed, if they have one.
Just blogs? Twitter? In other words, is this a point solution or an
extensible mechanism?
Well, Twitter has a RSS feed, if you used that as your RSS feed it would
work. However I'm not intending supporting more than one feed per user.
While we're on the subject, what about adding a hackergotchi field?
(Which could be used outside a blog aggregator.)
The issue is with storage, sizing and vetting the images. I think the
answer is therefore 'no'.
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).
Now, if there were a way of putting a filter on that so it could be processed
then it would be more flexible: allowing planet (just as an example) to
manually select a subset. I'm thing of a more general case of the following:
I'm not trying to solve all possible uses of such feeds, more to
decentralise the maintenance of the list. Consuming applications could
filter the list as they saw fit.
