Alexia maintains a wonderful portal for the community, The EVE Online Portal at http://www.evebloggers.com. It’s a great resource for people to find many different pieces of information concerning EVE Online.
What I find really cool is the RSS aggregation that updates for all the EVE Online blogs in real time and thus we come to the point of my post here.
As you are well aware, I maintain an OPML download file for RSS readers for the EVE Online Community. It’s a lot of work to maintain and I have a lot of help from the bloggers and the readers in keeping the file populated with all the EVE related blogs out there.
Alexia and I work closely together to ensure that we both have the same blogs listed in our services. Such work in all honestly is time consuming and creates confusion. It confuses us when we are updating our blog lists and it confuses people as to where they should go to find the latest information on EVE blogs.
As the old saying goes, the less hands in the pie, the less mess. So will be true for OPML files for our community.
From this point forward, there will be ONE OPML Download file. This file will be obtainable from Alexia’s wonderful site. Alexia has given me a user account on The EVE Online Portal so we both can easily continue our work in bringing the best and most up to date EVE Blogging resources to the community.
So, please head over to The EVE Online Portal at http://www.evebloggers.com and enjoy the fruits of our labor!

It might actually be worth maintaining this file in a version control system, like bzr.

If you think about it, this just makes sense. Having many disparate listings of EVE blogs just confuses people too much. A central resource for the community is what should be used and I am happy to help out.

I currently keep older copies but not as often as I should. I would rename the current version with the date and upload a fresh export.
Content management systems are always nice tools and Bazaar is one of the better ones out there. SVN is another tool that works well.
Going forward we will have to use something, we are just not sure what……yet.

You may want to check out EVEMon (http://evemon.battleclinic.com). If you are using an iPhone, Capsuleer (http://capsuleer.evesuite.com) is also a great tool!
