Implementation idea for feeds: can haz identi.ca?
22:54 < mchua> mmcgrath: Looks good to me - the shortness actually
reminds me of twitter feeds
22:54 < mchua> or well, identi.ca
22:54 < mchua> so that might be a quick and dirty way of getting
Something That Works to pop in.
22:54 < mmcgrath> mchua: yeah, I wasn't sure how long those should be.
22:55 < mchua> mmcgrath: I think the one-terse-sentence-(fragment) is
about right.
22:55 < mchua> Then we can link to longer articles if they're available
- but identi.ca can provide the first-run feeds in, so it could
theoretically work now pre-FI launch.
So I poked these into being:
http://identi.ca/fedoradistronews/
(feed is at
http://identi.ca/api/statuses/friends_timeline/fedoradistronews.atom)
http://identi.ca/fedoraprojectnews
(feed is at
http://identi.ca/api/statuses/friends_timeline/fedoraprojectnews.atom)
I cloned the news points Mike picked (more or less) so if someone will
try them out in the start.fp.o-news branch in the fedora-web git repo,
they should, theoretically, Just Work. Iirc, we'd need to ask for
permission to use the Fedora logo as an avatar - but that's the only
further "setup" we'd have.
Hmmmm. This one's not quite looking right:

Notice the titles. I'll see if there's something I can do on my end.
Both accounts are currently rather bottleneck-y (i.e. if I get hit by
a
bus, nobody else could get to those accounts) since they both go to my
email address; we need to figure out a system for handling those sorts
of things in general (or if we have one already, I need to learn to use it).
That's the nice thing about rss feeds, we can pretty well move them around
all willy nilly :).
