I've just created a small Mediawiki extension to include PlanetPlanet
(http://www.planetplanet.org) powered feed aggregates for Wikicompany.

There are currently two feeds online:
http://www.wikicompany.org/wiki/Wikicompany:Planet_Wikicompany
http://www.wikicompany.org/wiki/Wikicompany:Planet_Science
Feeds category: http://www.wikicompany.org/wiki/Category:Planets

The plan is to have more good (freely accessable and from the source)
feeds related to companies/sectors/regions in the future.

I need to do some CSS work on the pages and templates, to make it look
better, but it is a start.

I'm also planning on taking the feeds in the Planet configs from the
Wiki (to make the feed channel configuration available to the editors),
but I have other things to do first.

PlanetPlanet is easy to setup, but if you have questions, let me know.
