Planet is a feed aggregator that runs on a web server. It creates pages with entries from the original feeds in chronological order, with the most recent entries first.
Etymology
In online media, a planet is a feed aggregator application designed to collect posts from the weblogs of members of an internet community and display them on a single page.[citation needed]
History
Planet was written in Python and maintained by Jeff Waugh and Scott James Remnant.
There are several successors:[when?] Venus - started by Sam Ruby,[1] Pluto - started by hackNY,[2] a second project also named Pluto by Gerald Bauer,[3] and most recently Moonmoon.[4]
Design
Planet uses Mark Pilgrim's Universal Feed Parser to parse feeds in RDF, RSS and Atom formats, and Tomas Styblo's htmltmpl templating engine to output static files in any format.
Released under the Python License, Planet is free software.[5]
Adoption
Planets are commonly associated with free and open source software projects, where they are used to collect posts from the various developers involved in projects.
