[advocacy-discuss] ??: Re: Whose blog qualifies for Planet OpenSolaris?

[Qingye Jiang (John)]

I like the NetBeans approach.

With OpenSolaris, it is also good to seperate OpenSolaris-related entries from personal one. But, do we also need to seperate technical ones from advocacy ones?

In case of NetBeans our webmaster was asking people blogging about 
NetBeans to create a special category (and a new feed) on their blog for 
posts related to NetBeans. Only this category appeared on 
planet.netbeans.org (not the whole blog). Obviously this didn't work 
with everyone because some blog engines don't allow you to create extra 
feeds but it helped us avoid personal posts and thus keep the noise 
ratio lower.

Currently planet.opensolaris.org seems to be syndicating whole blogs 
which means a lot of personal posts appear there. I am not sure if it's 
good or bad, just saying what we've been doing with NetBeans. So we 
allowed more people in (the bar for participation was probably lower) 
but we had some rules about which content should appear on the Planet.
