I'd like to make a few changes to planet: 1. Ditch RSS2 (Atom only) 2. Migrate backend to Planet Venus (more features) 3. Rewrite templates in XSLT (no more htmltmpl) #1 might not be reasonable / possible. #2 should be simple enough. I'm worried about the HTMLTMPLIF statements that we may not be able to reproduce. Venus provides a cleaner feed, has less issues, more features and is much, much faster. It's worth investigating the possibility. Tests so far show that it will provide a correct ATOM XML feed using the basic template, along with Name: Title format. So, things to do: - rewrite templates in XSLT - test Venus and take it from there
Yes, annoying that every other feed reader can get it right *besides* planet. Let me know how I can help.
I'm not sure what the htmltempl is but I know my way around xsl/xslt if you need help with that, so just shoot me an email if you need something.
Please keep the RSS2 feed for now, if you want to remove it then you can discuss motivations, reasons and methods in a separate bug. I trust your judgement on the venus upgrade though, sounds great, would be worth running both in parallel for a week before making the switch on the main site. Thanks!
Should be good to go http://planet.gentoo.org/venus/ http://planet.gentoo.org/venus/rss20.xml http://planet.gentoo.org/venus/atom.xml I didn't need to switch to pure XSLT after all.
gentoofan23's blog feed is from wordpress and doesn't have /atom at the end of it. With planet, the title of feeds with this criteria are broken (just show the author) with venus/rss20.xml feeds like this are fixed. So that is one improvement that has been confirmed.
One other thing I missed, I need to make sure we still have the description tag in Venus.
