the Pluto fork which seem to be written in Ruby (demo).
The Venus and Pluto fork demos are very ugly but they seem to have a templating system (e.g : Pluto’s). This will allow us to have a coherent design with the foundation site but also mean more work to setup the planet on starting.
IMHO, Pluto is the best choice as it is written in Ruby. If anybody as already use it before, or even setup a planet before, I’m open to any suggestions. I will try to setup a Pluto server on my computer as soon as I have it back to make a feedback.
What are your opinions on this subject ?

Quick update: the planet is working fine and already merged into the develop sources from diaspora-project-site.
However, I got really mad at our old static bootstrap.css and the huge mess in the templates, so I’m going to fix that before I’ll release the new site (with the planet).
But you guys could start collecting feeds, huh? English only, for the first try.
I suggest you start feeding with the diasporaHQ profile.
Also, wouldn’t it be a good idea to work with Pablo Cúbico since he started a new site design ?
We could perhaps do a diaspora HQ post to ask for people who blog about Diaspora? What should it be asking?
Would the following be a possibility?
people who want their posts to be included in the planet add the category ‘Diaspora’ to all posts they write about Diaspora so these can be picked up by the planet but other, non-related blog posts aren’t picked up.
if they’re writing in a language other than English, add a tag for that language to the post, so that the planet can provide a language selection tool.
I think good blog posts about Diaspora should be incorporated into the planet, no matter what language they are written in. It might be possible in the future to implement a language filter for the planet (see my previous post in this thread for my ideas about that), but we shouldn’t wait until a filter is available before including content written in all languages. I’m always keen to get away from the dominance of English!
