@Everyone, First of all, I'm sorry for the long response. I've been somewhat busy and didn't want to just add all the feeds without putting some thought behind. It would be easier for me to just publish that, but I don't think subscribers would appreciate that and that's the main goal.
Thanks for the comments and for nominating your feeds. I'll see the details with each one individually, but this are the general points ordered by importance (I'm always open to more feedback/suggestions): 1. Posts related to Silverlight. Ideally we should aim for 100% Silverlight content. I knot that's not all you have in your mind and I'm sure the rest is also interesting, but in this case, people will be subscribing to Silverlight Content. So we need a way to filter that. What seems easier at the moment is to get the feeds for certain categories, for example in wordpress instead of subscribing to myblog.com/feed/ we would get myblog.com/category/silverlight/feed/ I don't know how to do the same with other blog engines. If you can provide me with a 100% SL Feed that would be fantastic. Otherwise don't worry, as long as it has a high percentage of SL content I think we can still include it. I might do some regular expressions in Yahoo Pipes, but I'm not sure of taking this path, what if someone mentions SDDN, Blend and Animations or other words that I don't consider part of the filter, so this is error prone. 2. To be involved somehow with the OzSilverlight Community, (e.g. not necessarily living here, like Scott and Jonas that have participated in the list and presented at different events in Australia. 3. To blog frequently. Once a month? Although this isn't as important as the focus of the posts.
