Hi all,
I've been working on something: http://scaggregator.appspot.com/
It's basically an aggregator of the blogs of people who seem connected
to the Software Craftsmanship movement in some way.

If you've seen:
http://blogs.thoughtworks.com/
http://planet.intertwingly.net/
http://planet.apache.org/
then you already understand the idea. It's basically an easy way to
see what everybody's doing.

Usually I'd wait until this was actually working properly before
telling people about it. But a conversation with Douglas Squirrel
yesterday inspired me to announce it early so you can watch me learn
in public. Or perhaps help out.

The code's here: http://github.com/adewale/streamer and it's in Python
and runs on AppEngine.
It currently has lots of missing features and bugs:
- It doesn't handle duplicates so when someone updates their blog
you'll get duplicates
- I've only just got to the stage where I've found an approach to
writing tests on AppEngine that makes sense.
- I barely understand Git and Github
- It doesn't have an Atom feed to subscribe to.
Apart from that it actually works.

Patches or pull requests are encouraged. Start here:
http://github.com/adewale/streamer/blob/master/TODO if you feel brave.

Reply to this email if you want your blog added or removed.
Let me know if you'd like to become an admin. You'll need a
Google/GMail account but being an admin will let you add or remove
feeds as well as deploy new versions of the application.
