Setup a planet for community blogging
Hi all,
this thread follows this on concerning the possibility to open a planet to aggregate blog posts witten by the community.
I studied a bit some software and I found 3 :
- the original Planet software which run on Python (demo),
- the Venus fork which also run on Python (demo),
- the Pluto fork which seem to be written in Ruby (demo).
The Venus and Pluto fork demos are very ugly but they seem to have a templating system (e.g : Pluto's). This will allow us to have a coherent design with the foundation site but also mean more work to setup the planet on starting.
IMHO, Pluto is the best choice as it is written in Ruby. If anybody as already use it before, or even setup a planet before, I'm open to any suggestions. I will try to setup a Pluto server on my computer as soon as I have it back to make a feedback.
What are your opinions on this subject ?

@jasonrobinson you do have access to the blog right? Similar to that ;)

@augier did you release the blogs? Is there anything wrong about content feeding? It's been 14 days since you said you'd do it, but https://planet.diasporafoundation.org/ looks the same, only the official blogs updates are being displayed...Should we advertise the planet? I'm sure people out there are interested in feeding their blogs into it.

I didn't do anything @camil. I just gave the feed. I don't think I'm able to register my feed to the planet.

But you guys could start collecting feeds, huh? English only, for the first try. :)

@goob : I think so too. But I think they should at least be grouped in seperated tabs with seperated RSS.
