is planet.gnome.org.


planet.gnome.org is hard to moderate. Editors can only remove an entire
blog. It would be easier if the software allowed the existing editors to
remove a single blog post.


Let's be honest too : there are a bunch of people which used to be
active GNOME members, who changed their focus to other projects and are
still in Planet GNOME for no reason. Maybe PGO editors should start
cleaning the old cruft (no offense intended)..


But I find it interesting to know, say, what Miguel is up to these days.

I don't believe Frederic was pointing at Miguel.  There are people who
have left the Gnome community working on products that don't use any
Gnome technology posting blog post/ads for said product on PGO.

 If this is a concern that many have, maybe it would be simple enough to
send an annual reminder to people that are aggregated on Planet GNOME to let
them know that they are on Planet GNOME, why they are there (they are part
of the GNOME community), what the code of conduct is and let them know how
they can remove their blog.

Yes, please! Let the system fix itself through trendy crowd-sourcing, 
rather than having a board spank people who speak foolishly!

 Exactly.  The more I think about the issues raised in this thread, the more
 I believe a voting system (similar to what maemo is doing perhaps) may be
 all we need.

 Say, any viewer of p.g.o can vote a post +1 or -1.  Then we can gather two
 metrics per poster: 1) how impactful his/her posts are (avg / median / max
 number of votes).  2) how interested are readers in his/her posts (avg /
 median / min/max score.

 We can then have threshold to hide / collapse unpopular posts.  That part
 can even be done using JavaScript and you can the threshold on the page and
 more posts will collapse/uncollapse...


Really ? Most people read posts in Google reader (offline) and may not
even be interested to vote for every author.

No one *has* to vote.  And we can have different feeds for different thresholds.

Coming back to the starting point - what is the problem to which the
solution is being discussed ?

I have been following the thread since the inception. The intent of
the (rhetorical ?) question was to bring forth the fact that we are
discussing solutions of myriad variety without looking at whether it
can be solved non-programmatically. Hence, the question.

The immediate question I was responding to was whethere/how blog posts of 
people not involved with GNOME anymore / not part of the GNOME community 
should be removed from PGO.  I think what I proposed is an adequate solution 
to that.


Sure it doesn't fix many other problems raised in the thread.
