IIRTC (bottom): Thom May removed the Jakarta Gump entry stating This really is not what planet is about. Now Thom might be correct, it is an opinion, but I don't recall a debate on the worthiness of Gump, nor on exactly what/whom Planet Apache is meant to be for. Is Planet Apache somehow about

I think if gump were a little less verbose it would be a good addition, personally. Maybe the whole gump result set as one entry would work better. I like the *idea* of it being there, the initial practice of it was just... verbose =) And some of the human bloggers weren't

snip/ Thom and Ted, IIRC. I agreed with the decision. Several others did as well, apparently. I think if gump's postings were limited to a 1-or-2-paragraph message once a day, it might've been different. OTOH...reading a build failure just isn't as much fun as reading about someone's holiday.

The gump feed could hardly be called microcontent. It was rather content spam. Due to it's verbosity or it's boringness? Those are things I can accept (if only I could apply them to some others ;-). Inappropriate content is another. It seems a bit of a shame we've already started cutting

I'd prefer it not be put back in. If I'm interested in Gump, I'll just subscribe to Gump. I view PlanetApache as an aggregation of individual opinions from the Apache community. BTW: As for the humans, I'd prefer if the whole posting was in the RSS, not just a summary. It really slows down
