I noticed that a lot of projects out there have "planet" websites,
where they aggregate blog feeds from people that are working on that
particular project. Some examples are:

http://planet.gnome.org/
http://planet.python.org/
http://planet.twistedmatrix.com/
http://planet.mozilla.org/
http://planetapache.org/

Just to name a few. These are great places to get a feel for a
particular user community and a good way to provide a single place to
find info on a particular project. I was wondering if there were plans
for a planet.djangoproject.com? I thikn it would be a great idea.

Does anyone know who the contact is for the djangoproject.com website?
Does anyone know if they read this mailing list? I'd be willing to chat
up the right person to see this happen.

We haven't thought about that, but it's a pretty good idea. What would
it aggregate, though?

http://www.planetplanet.org/

I think it Planet generally aggregates feeds supplied by people
writing about the subject. So, the authors would have to supply feeds
which were specific to django. Chicken and egg problem, maybe.

I've seen a few people blogging about django. Ideally it would be nice
if there were people involved with the project that were providing
feeds to it.

you can set keywords so that only posts with those keywords are included.

I think it's a great idea (the python planet feed is how I found out
about django).

Hi,

On my site, I'd be happy to create a separate category for Django
posts which would then have its own feed so that only relevant items
were included.

Hey guys --

I'm working on a "planet Django" thing for djangoproject.com (written
in Django, naturally :).

If you've got a blog (or know of one) that covers Django, please send
me a link to the feed -- preferably a feed for the Django category,
if it exists. I'll try to have something up by this weekend.

Right, I'm done: http://www.djangoproject.com/community/. Once again,
if you'd like your feed to be listed, drop me a (private, please) email.
