I agree with the idea of using a.o infrastructure…Question is if it's flexible enough for what we're thinking - planet apache seems to be specifically for committers. Do we want the scope to be that narrow? It looks like https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/planet/committers.ini should have support for multiple planets, but looking at the feeds, it seems like it's taking general blog feeds, not specifically posts related to a specified topic…
