Planet NetBeans update

Hi all,

We've had some problems with the PlanetNetBeans site over the last few
months - validation issues to odd linking problems like those Varun
reported on this list.  AFAICT these were problems in the Planet Planet
aggregator we were using.

After some testing, I've just migrated the PlanetNB site to use a fork
of Planet Planet called Planet Venus.  AFAICT, it has solved all reported
issues.  I pushed it live over the weekend, and so far all looks good.

Please check out the site, and the feeds, and let me know if you see any
problems.  Specifically if you have had problems before with your posts
not showing up, or incorrect links, pls check if they have been fixed 
next time you blog.

Remember that if your feed doesn't validate it wont be included - this
change can't help that.  If you can fix the validation errors in your
feed, your blog will automatically be re-included on Planet NetBeans.

Lastly I know there is quite a backlog of requests to be added to the 
site - apologies for the delay, I've held off on adding new feeds until
I resolved the issues we were having.  No need to re-submit your requests,
I'll start processing those ASAP.

Thanks.
