But "publish only posts that are explicitly tagged as Mozilla" and "encourage a degree of intentionality around the content individuals choose to publish" are not quite the same thing. One is a content policy, the other is an intentionality policy. Let me explain with an example: Planet takes all content from my blog which I tag "syndicate". This includes some Mozilla posts (normally tagged "mozilla" but some "bugzilla" or other things), and some non-Mozilla posts. I tag most posts "syndicate" because, up to now, we've maintained the Planet policy of "send everything", to which I added the personal caveat "unless it will blow up the community for no gain". So saying "we need intentionality" would be fine - I wouldn't change anything about what I do now. Saying "we want just posts tagged 'Mozilla'", means less stuff I write would appear on planet. So I think we should distinguish: do we want a content policy, or an intentionality policy, or both?
