Hey forum,
Wondering if anybody out there happened to be using Yahoo! Pipes in any creative ways using the RSS feeds from Ubuntuforums?
If so, would you mind sharing what you've done, its purpose, and how it works?
Thanks!

Well, here goes my first attempt. I'm very new to using Yahoo Pipes, so, there are probably lots of potential improvements. I call this pipe: Ubuntu Solar System (http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=YKdLhCDf2xG0_ywgE5PZnA).
This pipe creates a single rss feed that not only aggregates Planet Ubuntu with lots of other Ubuntu planets (Women, Brasil, France, Netherlands, etc.), but it also translates the non-english postings into english. Sometimes the meaning get a little lost (particularly with the Dutch to English translation for some reason).
Anyway, I hope some of you enjoy it, and please, if you have neat additions to it, better ways of processing it, etc. please make your changes and share them back with me.
Regards,
