Bug Description

Hi, I tried to add a subscription to Mahara Planet (https://mahara.org/planet) using my RSS reader (Liferea).

However, the url included in the RSS orange icon (https://mahara.org/planet/rss10.xml) throws a 404 error.

Thank you,
Leandro

I wonder if we still need Mahara Planet - it's not being used very much and we have the public forums that people can subscribe to.

Kristina, Aaron - what do you think?

The (known) problem with the planet RSS URL is that the file is being generated, but it's not being placed into a path that Apache makes web-accessible. I think I described this in our internal tracking system a while back and asked the sysadmins to fix it, but they never did.

That said, I'm 100% in favor of getting rid of the mahara.org Planet install. It's more hassle than it's worth, IMO. And it's a product of an earlier era. Fewer people maintain their own blogs with their own RSS feeds these days. Now people use social media accounts to hold conversations.

There is now a WR for that. We had already removed the Planet URL from Mahara itself.

Mahara Planet was decommissioned. If at some point we want to set up a space to collate blogs, we can do so with built-in tools.
