Hi Sysadmins,

I would like to request an addition for my employee's open source website. We've just launched this website and plan to showcase our own development on it, but most important, use it for (non-commercial) technical weblogs of all sorts of kinds, mainly Drupal or PHP related.

Madcap is allocating a lot of time for the development team to do development on Drupal, like submitting patches, module development and writing weblogs. So it would be nice if we are able to publish our content on Drupal's planet.

The community website is absolutely not aimed at customers but the community instead, therefore it will contain mainly technical content, think about experiences with code, Drupal benchmarks, case studies, usability reviews.

http://open.madcap.nl/rss

In case of any questions you can contact me regarding any questions.

Regards,
Niels van Mourik,
Community Manager,
Madcap BV

Sounds nice, glad to see you're allocating resources to contribute to the community.

However, you're going to need a Drupal-specific RSS feed to be added to the planet. We never just add an entire feed from a site -- you have to consciously decide when posting something "yeah, this is appropriate for Drupal planet" and tag it as such.

So, please provide a link to a feed specifically for posts you believe are appropriate for the planet.

Cheers,
-Derek

That sounds very reasonable.

I've cloned the RSS feed view and now all the weblog articles need to contain a 'drupal-planet' tag so our developers don't post any content that doesn't belong on there.

The filtered url is:
http://open.madcap.nl/rss/drupal

Cheers and TIA,

Niels

@nielsvm - note that the use of rss/drupal for the feed means that the link to your site on the side of http://drupal.org/planet will be to http://open.madcap.nl/rss/drupal instead of being something more useful like http://open.madcap.nl/taxonomy/term/18 This is due to the way that the core aggregator module discovers the URL to associate with the feed. If you used "drupal/feed" (for example) as the path then the core Aggregator seems to have an easier time determining the proper URL to associate with the feed...

Please re-open with the new alias if you'd like this to be changed.

http://open.madcap.nl/ and all rss links are dead.

contacted niels about this.

if niels cant or wont fix it, we might consider removing the feed from the planet in a month or two. lots of dead feeds in the planet, going through them all

Yes I'm still assigned to the ticket but not the company. Though I agree its safe to get this removed and closed.

Thanks bertboerland and eliza411!
