You may also want to consider aggregating the #maemo Qaiku channel.

As for reliability, the way we're avoiding that issue with Midgard-powered feed aggregators is that we store all items locally. So feed updates happen in a scheduled fashion on the background, and displayed items come from the local content repository. That way, if a feed source goes down we only skip refreshing it.

A bit unrelated but I've been looking at RSScloud for making feed updates "instant", especially now that wordpress.com supports it.
