A webpage on the XtC website that aggregates the blogs of various attendees to XpDay. The idea was inspired by sites like http://www.go-mono.com/monologue/ and http://www.planetapache.org/ which aggregate the blogs of a group of people who have something in common.

What would be involved?

• Some mechanism for people to volunteer their blog for aggregation during the conference.
• • This could be as simple as telling some person at an XtC meeting the url for your blog.

• Some piece of technology that runs every few hours and displays a page of everybody's blog entries in chronological order.
• • This could be as simple as a CGI script that stores the entries in a text file.
  • We could always reuse the PlanetPlanet tool which was designed for precisely this usecase.
