Thanks for starting this discussion, Kevin! We've had some moderation issues with Planet over the years and a lot of the content is not relevant to Fedora. If it were to go away, I could live with it. Personally, I'd rather see much of the Fedora-related content on Planet end up on the Community Blog instead. That said, it does provide *some* value to the community (and the non-Fedora content is interesting and isn't necessarily something I'd see otherwise) so I'm not going to actively advocate for shutting it down. > 1. Do nothing. Venus "works" and .planet files are cool and retro. -1. I don't want to endorse making someone go kick the process on a regular basis. And running EOL software seems un-great. > 2.

It should be a separate field, IMO, because "website" and "RSS feed of my blog" are not necessarily the same thing. Like some others, my feed in Planet is for a specific tag to avoid spamming Planet with all of the other baloney I write about. But I also have a static website that I'd rather point people to when I say "this is my website". Do we have a rough count of how many people have multiple feeds in their .planet file? I didn't even know that was supported! In general, I'd rather break that for a few people than maintain the status quo. If it's a non-trivial number of people, maybe we can come up with a way to have the account system support multiple values in the RSS field? > 3. Switch to something better/bigger.

People can add their social media account's RSS feed now if they want, but I don't think we want to encourage that. I feel bad enough for the people who follow me on Twitter, nevermind subjecting everyone subscribing to Planet to it. :-) > 4. Planets are old and tired, just drop the entire thing.

Active curation takes a lot of effort, and we don't seem to have that available (particularly not in a sustained way). Maybe someday in the future, but we are not yet living in this particular future. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list -- infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to infrastructure-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
