There's this relatively new protocol, PubSubHubbub, in which a server publishing an RSS feed pings a server whenever it publishes an update to the feed's XML file. Feed aggregators, such as Google Reader and others, are then notified immediately when the updated feed is available, and can thus refresh it immediately, rather than wait for some timed cronjob to do so.
With respect to Planet Fedora, there are 2 things we _could_ do to make it more timely. Currently, planet.fp.o gets updated every 20 minutes by cronjob, rescanning all its feeds.
A couple of thoughts:
1. the venus planet people have woken back up and appear to be actively updating venus again. Might be worth querying them about this.
2. The other thing which is done every 20 minutes is building the list of feeds up. That'll have to fit in somewhere, too.
