I love the fact that we have people conversing about Fedora on their blogs from around the world. In fact, my bet is that we're missing a big chunk of conversation going on internationally, and that not everyone involved is including their material in our feed. But at the same time, I have to acknowledge that (sadly) I'm not much of a polyglot other than some German -- our German friends know my limitations pretty well :-) -- so I can't read or respond to most of these posts in any effective way. Machine translation isn't usually helpful especially when reading nuances. I would love to be able to select languages and topics for what I see on the Planet, with the default being all topics for the lingua franca only. I don't know how one achieves this with the planet software we use; perhaps it comes down to having some sort of app wrapping around the planet to provide these features. -- Paul W.
