We can easily run a planet aggregator somewhere on our shiny, new, hardware, no problem.

I'll file dependant bugs on the required work items.

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

Gozer, any news on this? I haven't seen any dependencies in this bug yet?

Comment 3

[Philippe M. Chiasson (:gozer)]

Busy sorting out a web infrastructure to run this service on. It's completed now, so running our own planet can proceed shortly. I'd expect to see it live, possibly ugly, sometime next week (Sept 1 - Sept 5)

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

Gozer, any update? It's been a few weeks...

Comment 5

[Philippe M. Chiasson (:gozer)]

I'll put on my plate this week, once Alpha 3 is behind us.

Configuration and templates are here:

http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/mozillamessaging.com/planet.mozillamessaging.com/trunk/

Staging preview is here:

http://stage.planet.mozillamessaging.com/

(Note, it's not automatically updating yet, just a starting point for look-and-feel customization)

Ugh, please don't pollute the svn namespace like that. If you need a new svn repo, just ask. Don't reuse existing ones for completely different things.

Comment 8

[Philippe M. Chiasson (:gozer)]

Actually, that's the opposite of pollution, the goal is to group all mozillamessaging.com things in SVN under

http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/mozillamessaging.com/
  www.mozillamessaging.com/trunk
                          /tags
  planet.mozillamessaging.com/trunk
                             /tags
  spreadthunderbird.com/trunk
                       /tags

And so on. Right now, www is still not moved because of some automation scripts that'll need to change.

The idea is to keep everything under a single roof (so to speak) to keep things clearly separate.

Just my 0.02$

[Reed Loden [:reed]]

If you want to do that, why not just get you a top-level directory like http://svn.mozilla.org/momo/ (substitute momo for "mozillamessaging" if you like) and just put stuff under there? That makes more sense, I think.

Comment 10

[Philippe M. Chiasson (:gozer)]

Ping? How do we want to proceed with this one? The basic aggregator is in place, but do we want to just launch it like this?

I'd think we'd want somebody to get it better integrated with the current look-n-feel of mozillamessaging.com, no ?
