Would that be possible, technically? Yes, I remember that we discussed planet.elinux.org with Peter Korsgaard (Cc'ed) and you, and Peter and I contacted Tim with this idea after our discussion, but it didn't go anywhere. This idea however hasn't left my mind, so just less than two weeks ago, I have started a news site dedicated to Embedded Linux: http://www.emlinews.net/, but I didn't announce it publicly until now. I was planning on waiting a bit more before doing a public announcement, but this discussion seems like a good way to announce this project. It does not intend to have long editorial articles (like LWN.net has), but rather short news of things happening in the embedded Linux space: hardware platforms, boards, tools, kernel stuff, Android stuff, conferences, meetings, etc. It is of course different from a "simple" RSS aggregator, in that each article needs to be written by someone. My plan is to open up the site so that people can contribute news items. For now, it is only a simple blog, to experiment whether there is interest for such a news site, and to see whether it is sustainable or not to regularly write news on this topic on an volunteer basis.
