Planet GNOME - is it a resource for its readers, or its writers? All aggregation sites go through a process, like mailing lists, where as the number of participants goes up, the relevance and quality goes down. Look at O'Reilly's Radar, when there was only Tim, and no when there are 14 or 15 people posting. I think the sweet spot there was about 4 or 5 writers - for me, the radar's gone to the wrong side of the quality/quantity equation. The planet's got 245 authors now. There are 48 posts since yesterday morning. At what point do we recognise that editorial control is necessary for the planet to remain a useful resource?
