We now have a list of derivatives and some information about them. A list of derivatives hiding away in a corner of the wiki is not that useful. Better would be to aggregate the available information about derivatives and present it in Debian infrastructure in a way that makes the derivatives visible to Debian contributors and useful to them. Got an idea about how we can do that? Add it below!

Ideas

Planet Debian Downstream

Aggregate all the developer and main blogs of all derivatives in one location on http://planet.debian.org/downstream/. Will require a script to:

  1. download the census pages
  2. look for items containing the word blog
  3. find if there are RSS feeds on those pages
  4. generate a new planet config file
  5. compare with old planet config file
  6. print a list of changes

Then a human should review the feeds and any make changes needed.
