#3 Re: Aggregating external articles Posted by dkg (216.254.xx.xx) on Mon 12 Mar 2007 at 18:17 I also think this is an interesting suggestion, but think it poses implementation challenges. For one thing, the article approval process here approves a static version of an article. This allows the site editor (that would be Steve) to vet the article in its entirety before publishing. If there's simply a URL which is expected to be pulled into d-a.org, an editor might approve version 1 of that URL, but then later find it replaced with an article that doesn't meet the standards of d-a.org. This kind of slippage could be anything from a blatant advertising link farm (e.g. a compromised remote server, or an unscrupulous author) to minor changes in a script which cause big security holes. While issues like these are unresolved, you can still post links to your articles in your weblog, which is aggregated and syndicated (albeit without front-page placement).
