What about a little maemo-users/maemo-developers driven survey? 1. call for suggestions which additional feeds the users on both lists want to see on planet maemo for their favorite language (which are not already on it) 2. call for suggestions which additional feeds the frequent maemo.org users want to see 3. let them (1. + 2.) rate the content quality 4. share the collection of proposals among 1. + 2.

Not so easy. May be you should consider also the frequency of new blog entries. If there is a $minority_language planet with a single, but very productive blog candidate with profound knowlegde he should get also the possibility to get accepted. Otherwise I wouldn't drop a blog with a blogger who drops an entry only every 2-3 months, but also with good content on a planet with more feeds. Hmm. May be you should also let the maemo.org users decide by vote whether the specific $minority_language planet should be started or not. Concerning quality vs. quantity it would be reasonable to let the community decide whether a blog should be dropped or not. For those blogs you can check (understand) yourself, you could to a final exam before dropping. Just to avoid abuse of such a feature. > - How all this affects to http://maemo.org/news ?

If there is a solution for #2329 (being able to choose via user profile) just show the content of the preferred language(s). In the meantime additional news pages could be one solution (with hearts/buries game). I don't know midgard yet and I don't know your setup. May be an insight in the deeper maemo.org mechanics could stir up some better ideas. May be I should start taking a look into midgard. ;-) >> btw. http://maemo.org/community/wiki/wikireorg/ leads currently to an >> infinite loop. > > http://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2274 ACK.
