Build a GSoC blog aggregator

[Rupeshiya]

I think there should also be a blog which contains the journey from start to end ,experience and suggestions for GSoC aspirants and for any other info we can contact GSoCer's of our college too.
What do you think @palash25 ?

Nice idea but every GSoCer writes their own blog, so writing or copy pasting articles for another blog leads to duplication of effort which I don't like.

I would like to suggest a few modifications to your idea. Instead of building a blog from scratch you might want to consider building a blog aggregator site that collects and archives blog from every GSoCer's RSS feed.

This seems more practical and doable and also automates the boring stuff. 😉

Thanks for your contribution 😄 @Rupeshiya

Sounds great. Would be more helpful after a few months though. (When the students have a few blogs up on their website.) 👍

Looking forward to have it in future asap because many 1st yrs have been motivated by our seniors and their achievements in open source dev. @palash25

Late to comment, but you can build a crawler and add the URLs of the RSS feeds to a file. Then set it whatever duration you want and it will fetch all those GSoC blogs per cycle and list them/update up on your aggregator whenever a new post is needed. You can have a look at planet.kde.org or dot.kde.org These are perfect and awesome working example of what you are looking for..

Yep, I just gave some sources which he can take inspiration from and understand its proper working.
