Comment 1 for bug 654973

The chapter news is kind of embarrassing right now because it includes so few active websites that it appears that our chapters aren't doing anything. We should fix that.

I wanted to find the config file, so i checked the website documentation wiki page and found the right info here:
http://wiki.freeculture.org/Website_documentation#The_Chapter_News_Feed_(and_the_personal_Planet)
that file is:
/home/freecult/planet/chapters-planet/config.ini

So the freecult user should run a cron that takes info, as described above, from the chapter database and generates that config file.

Implementing this is actually just a simple modification to some existing python that slurps out the chapter database info and does various things with it, including putting it in a nice json file. That code is here:
