I hear that www.lug.org.uk may be replaced this week and it includes a Planet UKLUGs, which will republish all posts from Planet ALUG. If you're on planet ALUG and don't want to be on Planet UKLUGs, let me know and I'll pass it on.
If you're not on planet ALUG and you want to be added, post here and hope that the mysterious overlord adds you. You need an Atom, RDF Site Summary (aka RSS 1.0) or Really Silly Syndication (RSS 2) feed, as far as I know.
Another thing on the new www.lug.org.uk is a page syndicating LUG news, but the feeds from www.alug.org.uk have vanished. Are there any plans to bring them back?
Regards,

MJ,
I have no admin access to the site, so I have no idea how easy/hard it would be add this, or whether anyone's planning it.
However, just to clarify, do you mean an RSS feed of what the LUG group is up to? There is a box on the front page of the wiki which I occasionally update, but that's not very often and, afaik, noone else ever does. I wonder, therefore, whether we actually have enough newsworthy events to warrant anyone setting something up?
As a case in point, the news entry atm refers to the Xmas meal we had in Ipswich back in December ...
Hmm .. speaking of which ... I'll update that to reflect the Reindeer one ...
Peter.

Mysterios overlord?! That's a new way of referencing me and David Reynolds that I'd previously been unaware of! (The planet.alug.org.uk domain name points to Paperface's VM, I generally kick things on it when people request, unless he gets there first!)

Hmmm, interesting question, I'd assume that there's probably a Moin Moint plugin to generate RSS feeds, but I don't know what it is off the top of my head... (or, actually, who has access to the webspace that www.alug.org.uk is currently hosted in...)
Cheers,

I looked for a "contact admin" link on planet.alug.org.uk and was then too lazy to search the list archives or mess with DNS, so typed something silly in the email instead. Thanks for 'fessing up.
