Can we transform the blog into a `planet`? #420

Open bgruening opened 6 years ago

bgruening commented 6 years ago

The idea here is that the blog also lists posts from other servers like https://usegalaxy-eu.github.io/news and be an aggregator ... http://planetpython.org/ or http://planet.gnome.org/ are such examples.

This does not mean we can not post here directly, but adding posts from other might be nice. This could be also done via RSS/Atom maybe?

Our first pass of this was to have the blog links like this example: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy-hub/blob/master/src/blog/2017-12-galaxy-on-digitalocean/index.md, which show up in all the expected feeds but actually keep all the relevant content externally -- you just have to create the metadata 'pointer'.

If I write a script that'll just autogenerate these pointers, consuming the feed at https://usegalaxy-eu.github.io/feed.xml (and other desired locations), would that work for you?

Sure, thanks!

Cool, that should be pretty easy to hack out. Do you know of other sources off the top of your head, other than the usegalaxy-eu news feed?

bgruening commented 6 years ago

No, sorry. Also the news feed from EU maybe needs to be filtered according to tags, maybe ... lets see how it looks and we can enhance this later.

Thanks!

Heh, I was thinking of @pjbriggs Galactic Engineer Blog. For instance I just missed a post he made. I'll add it now, but it would be nice to pick those up automatically in the future. No filtering required.
