Henri, thank you for this. Now there is plenty more stuff on the News plate. Do you want to drive the whole thing with the goal of completing the work well before the MeeGo 1.2 release? Say feature complete by 2011-01-20 and everything ready by 2011-03-24.

Let's continue, since this News section needs to solve a wider problem now: embrace the microblogging activity and guide the media to the good right stuff. Have a look to the wiki page and share your thoughts here. People like Reggie or Jaffa pushing the MeeGo Daily and the MWKN could have a look and see if there are points of collaboration/integration with their projects. > There are however some open questions: > > * How should this integrate with meego.com site?

About the frontend this would be a News section reachable from the related homepage blocks and the "News" item in the navigation bar. No matter what is the engine behind, the look & feel should be exactly the same. > * Where should this be shown in the meego.com navigation? "News" between "Community" and "About" (as you have it) sounds good to me. > * We should tune the relevancy calculation rules.

This means > higher priority should be given to other social web sources I'm not so sure about the smaller community once the voting is visible in the News section and the homepage. Why not keeping it as it is and change it only if we are unhappy after watching the news for a couple of weeks or so? > * Maybe some ideas to make this prettier? Show more of the news items? Look at http://wiki.meego.com/News.meego.com#news.meego.com_structure and you will see many opportunities to make it prettier. I think it's a serious task for a good web designer, actually. Who feels like drawing a mockup? > * Who should be able to manage feeds syndicated to the system? Until now Dawn has been doing this work. Let's see what she says when she is back from holidays. Have a look to the proposal of having a formal Media team: http://wiki.meego.com/News.meego.com#Media_team_.28PROPOSAL.29 > Note: in order to associate feed authors to their meego.com accounts > we need those authors to log once to the News website.

You can see the current list of syndicated feeds in the OPML > file: http://news.meego.com/blogs/feeds.opml And there is http://meego.com/aggregator/sources - managed from http://wiki.meego.com/News.meego.com#Blog_aggregation_checklist . We need to run this aggregation through a single place and a single process handled by a single team. -- Quim _______________________________________________ MeeGo-community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-community
