IIRTC (bottom): Thom May removed the Jakarta Gump entry stating "This really is not what planet is about". Now Thom might be correct, it is an opinion, but I don't recall a debate on the worthiness of Gump, nor on exactly what/whom Planet Apache is meant to be for.
Is Planet Apache somehow about his travel experiences [http://blog.clearairturbulence.org/blog/life/funwithmaps.html] (not bad, hardly Magellan ;), but not about the health of inter-relationships of Apache projects? Interesting. Sure, Gump is an automated feed, but is it so inappropriate? So, now what? Do I just add it back, or what? Maybe Planet Apache needs some PMC control... FWIIW: My observation is that Planet Apache is (at best) going to be only a small percentage on Apache (even on OSS) topics, and it will be highly verbose, and with high noise content ... it is the nature of that sort of simple aggregation. [I'd like to see some form of categories utilized, so it could filter on stuff that said it was Apache related, but I don't see that as likely, if even technically available across tools/feeds.] I see Planet Apache (as it stands today) as a way to get a flavour of an author, who has some association w/ Apache, to see if I wish to add them to my own aggregator or not. As such, I see no harm in Jakarta Gump participating. Gump at least only ever talks about Apache stuff... regards, Adam ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/planet/config.ini Revision 1.32 - (download), view (text) (markup) (annotate) - [selected] Wed Jan 21 13:29:44 2004 UTC (25 hours, 33 minutes ago) by thommay Changes since 1.31: +3 -3 lines Diff to previous 1.31 (colored) This really is not what planet is about -- Experience the Unwired Enterprise: http://www.sybase.com/unwiredenterprise Try Sybase: http://www.try.sybase.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
