[GLLUG] The Blog

I don't think aggregating other blogs and news sites into the GLLUG site is a
wise idea. For starters, everyone is going to have a different opinion of
what's interesting or appropriate for inclusion on the site.
Moreover, the goal here is to have content that is specific and unique to our
group. We want the site to be a generator of original content, not merely
another repeater. There are already enough of those on the web. If the site
fills up with content from other sites, pretty soon it'll be hard to find the
content generated by our members and people will lose interest and the site
that we spent so much time revamping to make more community-oriented will have
gone to waste.
I should point out that the GLLUG site has an RSS feed for the front page so
anyone can add it to their favorite news aggregator along with the rest of
their daily blogs and newsfeeds.
Cross-posting between the GLLUG site and other sites like a personal blog is
perfectly fine as long as the GLLUG posts contain actual content and aren't
just linkspam.
At some point, it may be possible for users to add RSS feeds to their own
personal view of the site, but I don't think that's on the table quite yet.
