Also, I think that most feed readers have multi language support.
Get the main Fedora planet feed and filter it through google
reader or something or a better feed reader and ask it to filter
by language.

I'm replying with my scant knowledge and opinion; this email address goes to a team of folks, most of whom have way more knowledge than me, as well as more worthy opinions, so read my reply as just some thoughts on the situation.Anyway you guys can filter the planet, maybe a separate RSS feed, for just English blogs?The Fedora planet is self-service, in that contributors add themselves to the one planet. It seems to me that we would have to go back to each person to identify a separate, language-specific planet in their configuration. Otherwise, we'd have to write some automagic in the planet application to detect languages? So, we could create an "English only" planet/feed and ask that people add themselves to that, as well. It would grow slowly over time. Some people who write in multiple languages in a single post could use for their English containing posts. But it looks to be a lot of work to do a split manually without contributor intervention.Most other planets have dedicated foreign language planets, whilst I don't totally agree with this, I'm also spending a lot of time skipping past blogs I can't read on the Fedora Planet...Just as a point of difference, I enjoy the multiple languages and seeing what others are up to even if I can't read the post. Often I can get a gist of what the subject is about, from personal photography to an app review. Sometimes I see a post that looks interesting enough to get auto-translated for further reading. >From previous discussions of this topic, there are people who are put-off by the multiple languages, and there are those who are not. Short of adding automagic language filtering in planet itself, I don't see a way to make both groups happy. We're already pretty far down the pathway we have now, so we have to ponder if it's worth the non-trivial effort? - Karsten |
