Greg Dunlap (heyrocker) wanted to have a feed of issues show on the homepage for the configuration/uuid group.
- Editors can now administer news feeds. If someone wants a feed for their group they should ask here or in the groups queue including a link to the feed and explanation of which group it's relevant for. Hopefully we won't have any low quality feeds that people ask to get aggregated, so I'm not going to try to lay out a policy other than "if in doubt about a feed's quality, post a question here." So, Editors should add the feed and then report back the feed ID value which is useful in the view...
- There's a view of aggregated items which takes the feed ID as an argument. It takes multiple feed ids separated by comma to indicate multiple feeds.
When creating feeds please set the update interval to something long like 3 hours. If we start to see significant load from the aggregator items we'll need to tweak that.

The ideal solution is a form_alter to add more options to the aggregator settings form. Until then I've just manually set the expire time to 32 weeks.
Anything else?

There's a patch for this at http://drupal.org/node/1150416
function groupsorg_form_aggregator_admin_settings_alter(&$form) {// Add a "32 weeks" option to the Aggregator module's list of options
$form['aggregator_clear']['#options']['19353600'] = t('32 weeks');
}
The only option I added was "32 weeks" but I'll leave it to you to add more.

There are about 75 people who can do this (i.e. editors). I hope some of them will to distribute the load of these kinds of tasks.

This is clearly not happening. At least, it's not happening fast enough. Our event is in less than a month. What do you recommend in this case and for future cases when this functionality is requested?
