Netvibes contacted me about helping them put together a drupal aggregator widget. These widgets work on nevibes, OS X, in Windows Vista, on igoogle and more. You can find an example at http://eco.netvibes.com/widgets/229787/the-chronicle-of-higher-education
I'm looking to put together a list of up to 15 feeds to put in the widget. 4 are tabs with up to an additional 11. In the example if you click the down arrow on the tab you are on you can see all the possible feeds you can read in the widget.
Anyone have any suggestions for feeds to use in the widget?
My initial list was the drupal planet and the feeds for the drupal homepage and the groups homepage. What others should we list?
They contacted us because of www.netvibes.com/drupal.

I'm not sure if you have a focus other than Drupal or not. There is Drupal Talk [1], which is more loosely Drupal focused then Planet Drupal. There is a list of sources [2] that feed Planet Drupal and Drupal Talk that could lead to other feeds. You could have a feed of open issues [3], or CVS commits [4], either for core or for contributed projects (CCK & Views come to mind, but it could be based on themes, translations, etc.). Another thing you can do is list feeds of individual forums [5], or create custom feeds based on parts or groupings of the forums [6]. By being creative with issue queues, CVS commits and forums, you could have hundreds of feeds. The can have feeds of individual groups from g.d.o, like the Drupal Dojo [7]. In my own personal list of feeds, I have a Snipplr feed of Drupal related posts [8]. So, I guess it really all depends on what the focus is, if there is one, as to where you can take this.
