Call for feeds: Planet Subversion

[Nik Clayton <ni...@ngo.org.uk>]

Hi all,

I've been kicking the tires of a tool called Plagger, and used it to 
build a prototype "Planet Subversion".  Essentially, this is an 
aggregation of feeds from various sources that are hopefully of interest 
to Subversion developers and users.

     http://jc.ngo.org.uk/~nik/planet-subversion/

You can either read this in your browser, or point your favourite 
RSS/ATOM client at it.

It's a bit light on feeds at the moment, so if anyone's got any they'd 
care to recommend to me I'll add them in.  The one thing I won't add is 
a feed of commits to the repo -- I tried that, it rapidly overwhelms all 
the other content on there.

As you can probably tell from the URL, this is not going to be its final 
home.  Assuming that people find this useful I'm happy to continue to 
host the site, perhaps under planet.subversion.org or similar.  Whatever 
  the community would like, really.

Oh, one more thing -- as you can see, the content's not wholly 
Subversion specific.  That very much depends on what people write about, 
and what feeds it uses.

I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other, Garrett on #svn-dev 
did say

    actually, FWIW i tend to like that planetapache includes stuff that
    isn't strictly ASF related.  it's always nice to hear what's going on
    in people's lives, etc.

Hi all,

I originally sent this direct to Karl, I didn't think it was dev@ fodder 
any more.  Turns out I was wrong.

Comments?
