Custom planets / Fedora Art

[Nicu Buculei]

One of the reasons for the change of planet infrastructure (.planet user 
files) was to enable the ability to create customized aggregators 
(language based or interest based).

As I am not aware about any such customization deployed yet, here is my 
question: what should I formally do for the creation of a "Planet Fedora 
Art"[*] aggregation? I envision it as an aggregation of not only blogs 
of the member of the Art team (some don't have their blogs on the main 
Planet yet) but also other feeds, like from flickr/picasaweb/gallery or 
YouTube/BlipTv.


[*] we may want to call it Design&Creative, but this is not relevant at 
this point.

It was?  I wasn't aware of that, I thought it was just so we could have a
planet.fedoraproject.org be self service so users could add / remove their
info without having to wait on us to do it.

actually not intimately familiar with our planet software to know if what
you want to do is possible or not.

anyone else know?

I maintain a planet server elsewhere, it is very easy to have custom 
planets running on the same install of planet. You just spin off a new 
planet .ini file and matching template file.

the template system for the .planet files I wrote allows for a user to 
make a .planet.something file and put the same or other info in it. Then 
another planet cronjob needs to be put in place passing that 'something' 
extension to it so it will look at those files and not the .planet files.

That's it.

But the best feature of our Planet is that it is self-serviced, with the 
users adding/editing themselves. Otherwise I could run it on my own 
server and maybe push it to fedorapeople.

This is what I remember and why I asked, here is my ticket: 
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1052

I also see a ticket for a pt_BR planet open for some months already: 
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/712

AFAIK it was done only to make planet self
service and to take the slow and 
tedious manual handling of out of the equation.

not sure if that could be done or how to do that.
