This document aims at bringing clarity to what should be included on Planet for the Valkey Community and how changes to the aggregated feeds are made. The current version of the document can be found in (1).

The configuration file containing currently aggregated feeds is planet.ini.
If there is a problem with content on Planet for the Valkey Community, please try solving it directly with the author (there should be a link to their Twitter profile in the subscription list, or there is probably a way to comment on the problematic post). If this fails, or if it is a kind of problem that cannot be solved with a discussion, open an Issue, send an email to valkey-planet AT oursqlcommunity DOT org, or contact the maintainer on Twitter.

Note that email did not work well for Planet for the MySQL Community:
The aggregator should contain articles that are relevant to the Valkey Community / Ecosystem.
-
If your blog contains a mix of Valkey and non-Valkey content, please submit a category or a tag feed instead of the default feed.
-
If it is not possible to submit a category or a tag feed, filtering your feed is possible.
-
If the recent entries of a submitted feed contain a small amount of relevant content, it might be considered for filtering. Authors will usually be contacted when filtering is implemented on their feed.

Minimal curation...
As long as your content is relevant to the community/ecosystem (and we are voluntarily wide in the definition of relevant), it is welcome on the aggregator. This does not mean that harmful content will be tolerated. What is considered harmful content is obviously subjective, and we will do our best to deal with this in an open and fair way.
...
If you want to add your feed, open an Issue providing:
- the name for your blog,
- a link to your blog,
- a link to the corresponding Atom or RSS feed,
- your Twitter handle (or another way for publicly contacting you),
- any other information you think is relevant.
Alternatively, for quicker processing, you can create a Pull Request containing the relevant changes to the planet.ini file.
If you have a good reason for not creating an issue or a PR, you can send an email to valkey-planet AT oursqlcommunity DOT org. In your email, please explain why you did not create an issue. Do not send an email for anonymity reasons, as your name will be mentioned in a corresponding issue or pull request (normally, addition and removal of feeds are done openly, but there might be exceptions for abuses or other unusual situations).
If you want to remove a feed, open an issue, create a pull request, or send an email.
