Hi Flo, how time goes by :-) I would like to continue the little discussion we had about blogs and planets.

[...snip...] > That, however, would require every author having its own blog. I'm pretty much aware of the difference between blogs and planets. Especially since not everybody wants to have an own blog (I am one of those, for example).

We have such a thing already! :) Yep, I know. To be honest, that was one of the reasons for proposing such a central place to make it easier for people to access our topics. Although we are a large project, why do we offer the same information (or let's say somehow overlapping subsets) at different places. To me, maybe also to others, this might be a bit confusing to locate "the" desired content. > > * Blogs: The Sun employees do use GullFOSS exclusively.

[3] > > You mean one "giant OOo planet" with all topics, like marketing, > development, UX etc.? Would be okay for me. Exactly. One giant planet with all topics and - for visitors with different needs - some sub-sets which cover one topic, e.g. marketing or UX. That would (hopefully) reduce the effort for maintaining the planets. Currently this would be http://planet.services.openoffice.org Then, the main open point would still be the availability of blogs for community members. But, that is something you already started to address - if I remember correctly.
