Many moons ago, I worked with Mitchell and a small team of interested
folks to create a formal Mozilla module and a first round of policy and
process for planet.mozilla.org.
Having accomplished that, creating a module and process, I have done
almost nothing more to improve Planet Mozilla and of late I am no longer
keeping up with even the most basic work of the module.
It's time for me to stop pretending that I have the time for it and to
take my name off of the list of Planet Mozilla peers.
Robert Accettura has been and continues to be the module owner.
The Planet module, having recently lost two of its peers, could probably
use some additional help. If you're interested, I suggest you reach out
to Robert.

The feed aggregator at planet.mozilla.org [Planet Mozilla] is a
collection of feeds published by more than 100 Mozilla community
members. Since setting it up, Planet Mozilla has been maintained
exclusively by Tim Rowley [tor].
Planet Mozilla has grown to become a major resource for the Mozilla
community and "the social face of the Mozilla community". Like other
community resources, it should have a more formal, if still
lightweight, management policy, and changes to Planet Mozilla should
be more transparent. Additionally, Planet Mozilla should not depend
on a single individual maintainer/editor.
Tor has stepped down as the Planet Mozilla admin and it will now
become a formal Mozilla module with a new Module Owner and a set of
Module Peers.
Additionally, Planet Mozilla will be managed as transparently as
possible and will have a published administration policy. Below is a
draft of the policy for Planet Mozilla administration.
1. All active Mozilla community members, as determined by the Module
Owner and Module Peers, are eligible for inclusion at Planet
Mozilla.
2. Changes to Planet Mozilla will only be made by the Planet Mozilla
Owner and Peers.
3. Community member blog feeds will not be censored or filtered.
4. Blog owners will be notified before changes are made to their feed
at Planet Mozilla.
5. All changes made to Planet Mozilla will be announced at the Planet
Mozilla Admin blog (to be created).
The initial list of Planet Mozilla Module Peers is: Asa Dotzler,
Robert Accettura, Deb Richardson, and Paul Reed.
Comments welcome.
