Reggie, please aggregate Maemo Talk. Same for everybody sweating to have a good Maemo related blog in place that goes beyond replicating what others already published in an already aggregated source.

Negative karma for thumbs down was removed a year ago or even before. Thoughtfix has 512 karma today: http://maemo.org/profile/view/thoughtfix/
I was looking at Dan (Thoughtfix)'s post here (might change as more news come in) entitled "Nokia N900 - Behind the Specs". It's not a long post but it's a good one and yet he gets 4 thumbs down.

Intro: my proposal will more about removing duplicate information available in the original sources (maemo.nokia.com and Forum Nokia) than about discussing what to put there.
Thanks Quim.

Hello reggie is it possible to include the #n900 tag tweets on to talk.maemo.org just like you did it on maemotalk.com?
I actually would like to add a news and brainstorm feed too.

http://maemo.org/news is a place useful for users nowadays. Well done! Let's see how things evolve but I would expect user focused news only to grow as soon as N900 sales start and interesting apps pop up.
talk.maemo.org posts still not visible in the home but since it has an item in the top navigation and lots of Google juice it seems that people are finding it without trouble.
So it looks like the only real black spot is Brainstorm. We are discussing about it at http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=29688 Please join the discussion there! .

Originally we aggregated some tag-based information like Flickr pictures and Youtube videos tagged "maemo" to the Social News system, but this was then removed. Similarly we could aggregate "maemo"-tagged blog posts to Planet if we want to, but supporting unfiltered sources raises some potential spam issues.

As for reliability, the way we're avoiding that issue with Midgard-powered feed aggregators is that we store all items locally. So feed updates happen in a scheduled fashion on the background, and displayed items come from the local content repository. That way, if a feed source goes down we only skip refreshing it.
A bit unrelated but I've been looking at RSScloud for making feed updates "instant", especially now that wordpress.com supports it.

Those could then be examined to see if tags need to be increased and/or changed.

If it gives me a problem, I'll host the aggregated feeds locally, maybe via SweetCron.
