That in fact is what I did myself when I moved to iquaid.org. I found myself self-censoring content on my blog because I didn't want it to become part of the Fedora planet feed. I agree with the original mission you gave, and I do think it is a bit of a loss that you all don't read about my chickens, homeschool science experiments, and the like. But with a Planet that big, there have to be some group-level filters. I think using tags/categories is the best method, so one isn't stifled but can control the firehose. > I don't think there are speech > concerns that way, since people can still speak on their own blogs all > they want to- it just doesn't get associated with fedora.

I want my Fedora-related stuff on the Fedora planet. Maybe I am looking at it more like a news source, sort of. Another way to look at it is, when there are only twenty people in the room, it is feasible for everyone to quiet down so one person can have their Big Say. Even when broken into smaller groups. When the number of people and room gets bigger, it becomes necessary to limit a bit of what and how long someone can speak, so they don't become dominant. I think it is more a factor of growth and scope. What I would be interested to see instead is some sub-planets that *do* pull potentially wider feeds, but by group. We could have an "all Docs" or "all Board members" that gives a more personal view. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Community Gardener Dev Fu : http://developer.redhatmagazine.com Fedora : http://quaid.fedorapeople.org gpg key : AD0E0C41
