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.
