and make sure to nag us if we don't add your feed in a reasonable time. 
so consider this a call for feed urls. i will add seth gottlieb's feed 
since i have it handy, any others?

if i remember correctly, a board member had reservations about it's 
content at the time, but that is really water under the bridge. let's 
add it if you still have it.

i don't think that there are that many oscom-related feeds, but who 
knows :) if it gets out of hand, we can always move to self-serve.

maybe we need to make a distinction between project news and cms 
developer's personal blogs. both have value, but the personal blogs tend 
to have more of the kind of insight i would be interested in as a fellow 
developer. maybe they could live in different categories on the 
aggregator, if that is at all supported, or we set up multiple planets?
