No. The way planet started, it was about people. Or friends in fact. I personally am not interested in reading an all technical Planet GNOME. For example, more than reading about latest boring feature in Evolution, I prefer reading cool cooking recipes or mind wrestling puzzles, *on p.g.o*. It's a way to keep track of what my fellow hackers are doing. Of course it's not appropriate to have someone's cooking blog aggregated on p.g.o. The rule is, it should be a personal blog.
