As others have mentioned Apache committers can submit their feed for the Apache-wide planet. Running your own planet is not that hard either. I did one for a number of years for ODF-related blogs, before transferring it (and the domain name) to the OpenDoc Society: http://planet.opendocumentformat.org/ That ran on the "Planet Venus" software that Sam Ruby maintains. It is python. It generates HTML output. Run it on a cron job every 15 minutes or hour and you are done. Adding new blogs/feeds requires updating a configuration file. -Rob > AOO blog is perfect for news about the project, but IMHO a planet like > sub-site to see on one place what contributors do will give a more > dynamic image to the project. > > I must admit I have no idea how such sites are created but almost all > FOSS projects have one. > > Also, we need to considering our multilingual user base providing a > way to follow specific languages. > > Regards > > Ricardo
