It would be nice if one could have an admin section for the ping module where you can configure which sites you want to ping or not (using checkboxes for example).
Also, it should be possible to add new sites using a form, without having to edit ping.module manually.

I wrote at least the 'configurable' part. Attached is a patch for the HEAD version. No idea if it works properly, since I haven't tested pinging at all.

I adapted Richard's patch against cvs version for new forms apis on 4.7.x. For extensive list of pinger url, please see at http://drupal.org/node/44822. As of today, Technorati recommended not to use pingomatic because of its outages (see http://www.technorati.com/weblog/2006/01/75.html). Below is my preferable ping list.

This is an updated version of this patch for Drupal 5, for those who need it. But I guess we should really work on this feature for Drupal 7 instead as it's too late to have it included in either 5 or 6.

Setting priority to "normal" as the current approach with pingomatic.com is ill suited for sites using other languages than English.

Not sure if anyone's using the patch above, but it has a bug which probably breaks ping.module completely. My apologies. Here's a new version.

Ping module is no longer part of core
