Great! So this new system works well! We just need to encourage more
developers on moving these things around :)

This is true...I wonder if we can just read the feed in and display that
on the main site. There is code to do this on cchost, Victor, maybe you
can elaborate on how Nicu could do this...of course the google reader is
an interesting way to do it...but how to read a feed, and display on a
standard page easily in ccHost...

I'm kind of leaning in favor of just making the planet be on our main
page and redirecting that...less to maintain right? What we really want
is people to go to our main page, if the same content is there, then we
can just use the planetplanet engine to do this...what do you think?

Its all about consolidation
