Thanks Jon - I had not seen planetplanet.org before. I already have 4 hours invested in writing the software for my RubyPlanet.NET site (most of that is in the "admin" functionality") and I think that I can make the obvious improvements in another hour or so, so I will probably stick with my 'home grown' system. My goal is a little different also: I want a one page summary of what is happening in the world of Ruby development. -Mark
