Everybody likes the principle of news written by the community. It seems that everybody actually likes http://maemo.org/news system, combining over hundred sources that get promoted or demoted based on user input (thumbs up & down) and karma from several sources e.g. del.icio.us, technorati... read more

The maemo.org Midgard team has prepared a proof-of-concept deployment of using Maemo's Midgard-based Social News system for MeeGo News.
The deployment consists of:
This system can be evaluated in its current temporary location and deployed on meego.com as desired.
Would these news have a presence in the homepage? Under "What's new", negotiating space with the current static promos?
Note: the "What's new" area on the home page will likely be taken over by releases when they exist. Not exactly sure where that puts the What's new or the planet?
Anybody can request the aggregation of their blog at meego.com under the following conditions:
If you fulfill your requirements above you can request the aggregation of your blog sending the following information to FIXME:
Or you can start adding your self to the list of candidates:
The proposed blogs are also maintained in the MeeGo News proof-of-concept and are available in OPML format from http://news.meego.nemein.net/news/planet_meego/feeds.opml
What would be the next steps in order to introduce a system including news promotions based on ratings?
Should we simply start simple and leave this discussion for later?
