» Hello Planet Debian!

As it usual when someone gets in, this is my hello Planet Debian post.

I’m Nicolas Valcárcel, i’m the maintainer of terminator and augeas and really interested on server and security topics. I’ve just started my New Maintainer process some weeks ago and hoping to put all my energies on making debian even better and easier!

I Live in Lima, Perú.

» Release: Feedjack - A Django+Python Powered Feed Aggregator

Update: 0.9.7 released.

Some months ago I wrote about Feedjack, a Django powered Feed agregator. Finally I have decent templates to release it.

You can read all the details or directly download it.

The basic features are (taken from the readme since I’m that lazy):

Like the Planet feed aggregator:
  • It downloads feeds and aggregate their contents in a single site
  • The new aggregated site has a feed of its own (atom and rss)
  • It uses Mark Pilgrim’s excelent FeedParser
  • The subscriber list can be exported as OPML and FOAF
But FeedJack also has some advantages:
  • It handles historical data, you can read old posts
  • It parses a lot more info, including post categories
  • It generates pages/feeds with posts of a certain category (example)
  • It generates pages/feeds with posts from a certain subscriber (example)
  • It generates pages/feeds with posts of a certain category from a certain subcriber (example)
  • A cloud tag/folksonomy (hype 2.0 compliant) for every page and every subscriber
  • It uses Django templates
  • The administration is done via web (using Django’s kickass autogenerated and magical admin site), and can handle multiple planets.
  • Extensive use of django’s internal cache engine. Most of the time you will have no database hits when serving pages.
Originally written to be used in ChichaPlanet, it is handling now a lot more planets in the same instance:

Share and enjoy.
