Participation Request/Interest in Planet Microkernel about microkernel.info HOT 12 CLOSED

Hi,

I would like to have some kind of microkernel news aggregation on microkernel.info. I was thinking about using a Twitter widget, used pretty much in the same way as that on unikernel.org. What technology is Planet Microkernel based on? I need this to be non-dynamic (i.e. a static widget) as our plan is to start serving microkernel.info from HelenOS.

Hi,

thank you for the quick reply :) .

Planet Microkernel is just a Planet Venus, which is an awesome ‘river of news’ feed reader.(according to the author's page). It is implemented in Python and deploys a static html site to my ServerRoot.

Serving the site from HelenOS sounds nice :)

Serving the HTML is relatively easy, generating it in Python is another. HelenOS can do some Python, but I am not sure it could handle all Planet's dependencies. Therefore it would be better if there already was an includable widget.

Okay, I see. Planet Microkernel, in turn is available as atom and rss feed. Is this a possible way to go? (e.g. rss widget)

I basically need to be able to include a html/javascript snippet that will do the work.

okay, something similar to this?

Yes, something like that. So now when we can include microkernel news aggregation using javascript, there are two more things to consider:

• how and where should the news be displayed? I can imagine there will be some kind of menu, that will allow one to go to the projects, see the news section, watch tutorials, read blogs or do something else. Or, alternatively, should the news be displayed everytime? If yes, where?
• what kind of contents/new should be aggregated? I'd like the news to be primarily an aggregation of project news, that is the news the projects publish themselves on Twitter, Google+, in their own RSS feed etc. I don't think this aggregated feed should contain mailing list messages or personal blog entries. Besides of that, I would like to see an aggregated microkernel blog roll, composed of interesting personal and company microkernel-related blogs.

• It depends, if we would adapt the planet concept, the news can be available under a subdomain (e.g. planet.microkernel.info). So, your landing page, microkernel.info, describes the projects at all (as it is the case for now) and the planet covers the news which offers a clean distinction between both
• Regarding the content, unfortunately not every project hosts its own separate news feed/site or publishes news on common social media platforms. For example sel4 announces new releases via a mailinglist (actually I scrap this list). Covering user blogs and news in a blog roll sounds good, nevertheless the planet project targets exactly this use case where the feeds originate from personal blogs

I'd prefer to have something directly on the web page. Otherwise it is a completely different web and is not restricted by the above limitations. If you check unikernel.org, you'll get the basic idea. In their case they're using the Twitter widget, but if it can be selected Twitter accounts and selected RSS/Atom feeds, so much the better.

@DK87: Your planet uses the term "Hurd Kernel" for the Hurd wiki feed. Please don't do that. The Hurd is not a kernel, and people are confused about the Hurd enough at it is.

@justus thank you for the tip. I'll fix this asap as i'm back at my pc.

Closing as Planet Microkernel apparently ceased to exist.
