Bug Description
Here's what I'm imagining:
extend the chapter database python which scrapes data out of the google doc to do something like this:
* look for a field like "uses_chapter_
* look for a separate field like "feed." this is the feed
* output all this data in the form of the right kind of config file to ~/planet/
notes:
* make sure the code is in the svn repo (http://
* run it as a chronjob

The chapter news is kind of embarrassing right now because it includes so few active websites that it appears that our chapters aren't doing anything. We should fix that.
I wanted to find the config file, so i checked the website documentation wiki page and found the right info here:

that file is:
/home/freecult/
So the freecult user should run a cron that takes info, as described above, from the chapter database and generates that config file.
Implementing this is actually just a simple modification to some existing python that slurps out the chapter database info and does various things with it, including putting it in a nice json file. That code is here:
