Planet Drupal
Last

Planet Drupal
and
regionalized Planet Drupal
are an aggregated list of feeds about Drupal. It provides a place for interesting content that may not fit the existing topical sections of drupal.org, groups.drupal.org, and other sub-sites. Its purpose is sharing useful and relevant Drupal-related knowledge and information drupal.org visitors might not otherwise encounter.
Content on Planet Drupal and any regionalized Planet Drupal is discarded after three months and three weeks, the maximum allowed from the
Aggregator
module used to handle Planet Drupal; articles that are older than that, when a feed is added, are never shown.
Posts need to be in the appropriate language: English for
Planet Drupal
, Spanish for
Planeta Latinoamericano
, and Chinese for
Planet Chinese
. Like all the interactions with the Drupal community, posts in the Planet Drupal should follow the
Drupal Code of Conduct
Content that is great for Planet Drupal
How-to, guides, and tutorials that highlight how to use Drupal effectively
Module, theme, profile, and distribution announcements, preferably with some discussion or background
Case studies that highlight how Drupal was used on a project
Slides and presentations from Drupal-related talks, or notes from a past presentation
Community news, like progress updates on an in-progress Drupal initiative or project
Content that does not fit Planet Drupal
Press releases
Job announcements and hiring announcements (It is fine to mention a career change in a post, but that should not be the post topic.)
General posts that only mention Drupal in passing
"I Love Drupal!" posts that don’t provide valuable, actionable content to readers
Other places for special Drupal-related content
Press releases can be posted into the
News and Announcements
forum
Announcements about Drupal-related events can be posted on the
groups.drupal.org events page
Case studies explaining how a particular Drupal site was built can be submitted in the
Drupal.org Case Studies
section
Request to add a feed
You
must
have an RSS feed that contains
only
content appropriate for Planet Drupal.
Your feed
must
have at least two posts already, created (preferably) the past 30 days or in the past three months and three weeks. This allows to evaluate the content, make sure it is appropriate for Planet Drupal, make sure the feed has sufficiently recent content, and show the feed is kept updated with new articles. (The
Aggregator
module discards articles older than three months and three weeks.)
Your feed
must
pass
source code validation
, since the
Aggregator
module used for Planet Drupal, or the regional versions, is very strict about parsing feed source code.
It is
recommended
that you trim or use a summary for your feed content between 600 and 1000 characters. Due to the number of posts on the Planet, this will make it more pleasant for readers to find what is interesting for them without having to scroll page after page.
It is
recommended
that you enable reader comments for content that appears on Drupal Planet. Because Planet content is intended to increase communication and connection in the Drupal community, dialogue and feedback are important.
It is
strongly recommended
that you avoid relative URLs for images in your posts. They won't display for people reading your post on drupal.org and is
generally discouraged
Once your feed meets the above requirements, create an issue in the
Drupal.org Content
project issue queue asking to be added to the Planet using
Add [your-domain] to Planet Drupal
as issue title
(Replace
[your-domain]
with the effective domain used by the feed.)
Remember to include the link to your feed, as well as the name you would like in the listing.

Update the [your-domain] feed
as issue title. (Replace
[your-domain]
with the effective domain used by the feed.)
Remember to include the link to your feed, as well as the name you would like in the listing. If you can provide a link to the issue used to ask to add the feed to Planet Drupal, that is good, as it makes updating the feed faster.
Feeds that are removed
A feed is removed:
If it does not meet the content guidelines stated above
If it violates the
Drupal Trademark and Logo Policy
If it contains spam, is hacked, or posts are offensive
If it does not work anymore, or it is no longer Drupal specific
If it has not been updated in two years
Report inappropriate content shown on Planet Drupal
If you find a post on Planet Drupal you feel inappropriate or in violation of the content requirements above, create an issue for it in the
Drupal.org Content
project. Please don't leave comments on the article itself telling the author the post is not welcome on Planet Drupal; Planet Drupal moderators will look into the issue and determine whether the violation merits a warning or removal from the Planet feed.
Feed owners who disagree with a decision can appeal by creating a follow-up issue in the
Drupal.org Content
project. The appeal will be discussed and voted on by the Drupal Planet content moderators, but their decision will be final.
