We have a few requests for displaying specific feeds within specific groups, and don't (as far as I know) have any system for doing this. For various reasons (search indexing, server resources, content moderation), it's probably best for the feeds to be loaded and displayed entirely in the browser. So we need a pane type that group organizers can add, populate with a feed URL, and it will use JS to load and display that feed on group pages. Maybe with JS disabled that should just show a link to the RSS feed.

There's an announcement at https://groups.drupal.org/node/146179 about how the aggregator module can do this. I'm not sure what the status of it is and I think the idea has been abandoned.

Title: Allow group organizers to display content from external RSS feeds » Allow group organizers to directly display content from external RSS feeds

Hmm, I think a large part of how that got abandoned was I didn't realize that process existed. I had thought the requests to aggregate feeds were all about adding them to the home page so they would be aggregated by Drupal Planet. Now that I understand how that works, I can probably help move those requests forward, though I'm still interested in moving this to a JS-only solution to avoid both the technical and administrative overhead of loading the content server-side.
