I would like to thank the people who sent in links to their Ruby oriented web blogs! [http://rubyplanet.net/](http://rubyplanet.net/) is more or less up and running but I still need to tweak Blog RSS/Atom summaries, etc. It was just a 3 or 4 hour effort setting up the site, so I know that there is much to do to improve it - email me with suggestions. Also, if you have suggestions for developer resources links, etc., pleaase send them to me. And, if you note anything new and newsworthy in the Ruby world, you might email me so I can add your entry to the News section. As an aside note: until about a year ago, I was primarily a Java server side developer. In the last year or two, I have done a fair amount of research into alternative technologies (Smalltalk Seaside, various Lisp and Scheme based frameworks, Python + CheryPy, Ruby on Rails, etc.) In the interest of **concentrating on my work and getting things done** I have decided to now just concentrate on Ruby and Java technologies. I am also working on a book “Ruby for the Small Enterprise” for Manning Publishers.

Have you considered using the Planet aggregator? [http://planetplanet.org/](http://planetplanet.org/) You can make a pretty nice site using that tool. Check out planet Gnome for example: [http://planet.gnome.org/](http://planet.gnome.org/) ---

Thanks Jon - I had not seen [planetplanet.org](http://planetplanet.org) before. I already have 4 hours invested in writing the software for my [RubyPlanet.NET](http://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 ---

I like the notion of a Ruby aggregator. I use the LISP aggregator (Planet LISP) in my bloglines feed. Will your site have an RSS feed that I can subscribe with bloglines? Cool idea. Many Thanks. Drew ---
