Hi,
this is an announcement to let you know that the service ($lang). planet.wikimedia.org, an RSS feed aggregator for all Wikimedia related blogs, has switched software.
You can find the English version at https://en.planet.wikimedia.org/
Other existing languages are listed on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Planet.wikimedia.org#Which_languages_exi... ?
Today we moved away from planet-venus and to a newer package called "rawdog" that does the same thing as before, fetching a bunch of RSS feed and combining them into a single page and feed.
The reason is that planet-venus has been dropped in Debian stable (stretch) because it was unmaintained, so we had to find an alternative to be able to upgrade the underlying servers to a current OS version.
If you never heard of planet, here you can find more info:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Planet.wikimedia.org
If you already use it but just subscribe to the "feed of feeds" then nothing should change for you.
(Though note that we support RSS 2.0 but not a separate Atom feed anymore. We are redirecting the old atom.xml URL to the new (and old) URL rss20.xml.)
If you already use it and look at the web UI, enjoy the new theme that Paladox imported from KDE to make it look about 150% better than before. (thanks to him for that theming work!)
We also applied patches to make it look more like our former planet for a smooth transition. A "wmf1" package has been built and uploaded at https://apt.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/pool/main/r/rawdog/
If you want to know more about "rawdog":
https://offog.org/code/rawdog/ https://packages.debian.org/stretch/rawdog
If you want to add your blog feed, feel free to upload changes or just drop me a mail.
Bugs can be reported here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/413/
Tickets are: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T180498 , https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T168490
Cheers,
Daniel

Thanks for the maintenance!

... Well, that's a bit of an unfortunate name. o_O

Perhaps. I would probably recommend googling software names for common alternate meanings before choosing to put them in a public-facing role, though.

Fair enough. yea, i wasn't really aware / noticed this. Though i think we might have a Barbara-Streisand-effect and now everybody looked it up.
before choosing to put them in a public-facing role,
The end-user isn't really exposed to it besides a small "powered by" link at the bottom. Also not the name of the puppet module, just a package name in Debian. Not like we are running rawdog.wikimedia or anything.

:) It's from Planet KDE and customized. Paladox did that. Files are here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/435327/
missing some information about the source of each post.
Please see the screenshot Paladox just sent. Is that what you meant?
could the Planet be linked from the Wikimedia blog
Sure, i'm all for that. As Andre pointed out this would be something for people maintaining the blog though. That is hosted outside our infrastructure and i don't personally have access to that.
Hi Daniel,
I like the new design, however I am missing some information about the source of each post. Would it be possible to add the source website to each post?
And another more general question I have is, could the Planet be linked from the Wikimedia blog? I feel that it is quite hidden now, so by linking it from the blog maybe it would gain visibility.

The source website is linked from the date header.

That's a question for the blog maintainers that you could file at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?projects=Wikim...

Nice. Let's add these MediaWiki feeds to the en.planet feeds, assuming they are all English and since Mediawiki is like a subgroup of Wikimedia.

Good idea for some of them, but I'm not sure everyone wants to read the latest Stack Exchange and Reddit posts with random questions about MediaWiki. Although, it's not like the planet gets *all* that many posts a day at the moment, so perhaps it'd be okay?
