Is it any harder than maintaining a wiki page? Is there a reliable Google search that will return a list of Ruby RSS/Atom feeds? Perhaps I misunderstand how such "planet" feeds work, but I don't really want to read every post from every blogger who asserts some manner of Rubytude. Nor do I want someone else deciding what feeds are worthy of inclusion. I want to pick and choose, and add the feeds of choice to my Bloglines account. Now, there is this site: http://rubyplanet.net/ But I can't find its RSS or Atom feed, nor can I see what blogs it is collecting. Appears to be a RailsPlanet site, though. (And, unrelated gripe, it links to an outdated Ruby library reference.) > > For the time being artima has something similar listed here > http://www.artima.com/buzz/community.jsp?forum=123 > > But having a good url makes a world of difference (pun intentional).
