I re-read http://perkypants.org/blog/2005/06/10/1118362980/ and it mentions the possibility of making the SVN module essentially a free-for-all. .. And I quite like that possibility :) We can certainly have some guidelines as to what a suitable blog is (though if we want to keep all the current feeds, simply "is vaguely a contributor to GNOME and tends to post in English" is about appropriate). For p.g.o I think it has worked really well to *not* have strictly GNOME content; I'm sure many people appreciate ocassional cool pictures from a music festival or sexy recipes. If you are feeling super-paranoid, we can have a "Planet" module on bugzilla, and we can point people to a page with instructions: 1. Get a bugzilla account. 2. File a bug under the Planet module. 3. A number of Trusted People(tm) get automatically CCed on the bug; this can be yourself and other old fogeys. 4. We debate to death on the bug itself, so that the requester can be aware of why his blog is / is not appropriate. 5. The blog gets added to the SVN module. Though I prefer the first option: simply have some guidelines, and let people figure things out by common sense / meritocracy / whatever. [I have a git-svn mirror of the planet-web module now, and my trigger finger is getting twitchy ;) ] Federico _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
