[Ubuntu-be] Opening a blogroll and implementing social stuff to the ubuntu-be website

[Pierre Buyle]

Hi,

Regarding a planet on the website, we already have a (dying) planet.
Registred user can enter their feed URL and the planet should
aggregate their website. However, the planet seems to be unable to
update since a long time (I failed to address the issue before). I'm
currently trying to get the planet fixed:
http://ubuntu-be.org/en/planet.
