Planet KDE is your insight into the lives and activities of KDE, a community making lovely free software.

Occasionally I get asked to add feeds to Planet KDE which aren't KDE contributor blogs. News feeds, user blogs and non-English blogs are the usual requests. So today, thanks to the helps of others, I've updated our software and added opt-in support for these different types of feeds. Just click the configure button at the top of the page.

If you have a KDE project news feed (including KDE related distro news), a KDE user blog, or a KDE blog in Spanish or another language do file a bug or add it yourself to the feed (it's in svn) with the new define_feedclass attribute.

I also updated the software to Rawdog 2.12 which should help keep the memory usage on the server down.

Thanks to Ade, Stuart and Kurt for helping with various bits.

Update: The new feeds are not added to the RSS feed (they were yesterday but I stopped that now). Also the history is longer, you get 5 pages now instead of just 2, click on the "older blog entries" link at the bottom.
