PortalsPlanet
A couple of weeks ago Elliot set up a planet for portals related people:
http://people.apache.org/~esm/venus/portals/
While it has not been upgrading (it needs either upgrading by hand or a
crontab), I see that the idea is cool. Furthermore, Sam Ruby offered to
set up and maintain planets for such Project Management Committees that
wanted. For the moment it is mostly empty, just Elliot and myself, but I
have found planets useful to check the status of a community. Venus even
more if the "meme" plugin is used.
What does people think on the idea?

I know Dims has a blog (http://davanum.wordpress.com/), Sam obviously.
Does anyone else in Portals have a blog?
I didn't realize planet apache was open to all committers... I'll have
to look into it.

Sam promised to set it up, if we give them a list of people, it is just
that we would need a bit more than just a couple blogs to make it work.
Any additional takers? It is a pity if we find not enough critical mass,
in any case there is http://planetapache.org , which any committer can
join.

I think its a good idea. I stopped the cron since I wasn't sure if
people found it useful or not. The meme plugin is really nice - I
couldn't get it to work on people (something about missing certain
libraries) but I'd love to see a larger portals planet that captures
what the community is working on, trends, etc.

I like the idea. Guess I just got to make more time in my day to blog

Let me see if I can come up with something
