Surface Django blogs (not blog posts) in Community section?

[nemecek-filip]

Hello all,

some time ago I created the DjangoBlogs.com which serves as a directory of Django bloggers. @adamchainz mentioned previously that it could be a good idea to surface these blogs (not blog posts) in the Django Community section.

I have created a small "mock up" how that could look like: Alternatively this could be called "Django blogs" or something similar. Or maybe "Django bloggers" to make it more clear that this does not refer to the aggregated posts.

DjangoBlogs.com already has an RSS feed which lists all the blogs on the site, sorted by date added.

I think this could be useful to bring the community more together and provide another "discovery path" for community bloggers to get noticed.

Thanks for consideration.

We have a whole lot of feeds approved and merged into the aggregate feed - 451 at current. I think we'd want to restrict to display sites that have posted in the last year or so.

I am not sure if I described my intention clearly. I was asking about the blogs itself to new section, but I think also aggregating their posts can be nice as well.

451 feeds? Wow that is a lot. I don't suppose it is possible to view them? DjangoBlogs.com currently lists 56 blogs and I have hard time finding new ones.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

It's not entirely appropriate in that section because the items that appear are time-based (new blog posts, new job postings, etc.) whereas mew blogs aren't being created each day. Anyway, I think it's best to continue your initiative on your own site rather than add more complexity to djangoproject.com (which has historically lacked consistent maintainers).
