After looking into this further, it turns out that the strange character is
actually introduced using the editors.  I can manually remove the character
using the View Source checkbox, but after saving it, and the character
returns.  I've tried viewing the character with UTF-8, and a variety of
other character sets, but I can't seem to turn it into anything viewable.

I added CDATA blocks to the planetrss.vm file and that seems to take care of
the problem.

One last area of confusion is the planetrss groups.  In my mind, you create
a list of subscriptions (basically the URLs for all of the RSS feeds that
you want to group together.  You should then be able to associate any
combination of subscriptions with any group.)    For example, if I want to
group Joe and Charlie's Status feeds into a single aggregation group (called
Development_Group_Status) then I should be able to do that by simply adding
their RSS URLs to that group.  But this doesn't seem to be the case.

Several times, I've found myself wondering how a subscriber came to appear
in a group that I created.  Even though I know, I never added that person to
the group.

Are there any plans on changing the UI to make it easier to add
subscriptions to groups.  Perhaps using list boxes and arrow buttons to move
subscribers to/from a group.

Yes. You can edit the WEB-INF/velocity/templates/planet/planetrss.vm file.

Make a back-up first. Refer to docs for Apache Velocity and the Roller
Template Guide for details on the template language, model objects and
macros available.
