Planet allows you to specify a list of RSS/Atom feeds and groups of feeds that will be fetched, parsed and stored in the Roller database on a regular basis. You can then use the PlanetModel or $planet object in your page templates to display those feeds or aggregations of those feeds. It's very similar to the Python-based Planet software that powers many Planet sites, but it uses ROME for feed parsing (instead of the Universal Feed Parser) and it provides a UI for entering feed URLs and defining feed groups. - Dave
