Thread: Kicking people off planetpostgresql.org?
Devrim, I've gotten a report that several people were arbitrarily kicked off planetpostgresql.org. Surely if people's RSS feeds are going to be cancelled, we'd discuss it on this list? -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco

Not one single person was kicked off Planet. The policy for using headlines was enforced and Devrim removed the long posts with notification and request that they recontact him once they fix the blogs. I strongly suggest to gather evidence before you start suggesting that a major contributor is doing any such thing. Sincerely, Joshua D.

I was a little surprised; it was hard to imagine Devrim taking unilateral action. That's very unlike him. Is the headline policy up anywhere? Like on the wiki, for example, so that we can point people to it? -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco

The rule is simple: ============== *If* your posts are very long, please break them into two parts. One that's included on planetpostgresql.org and a second that's available after clicking a link. This will keep the layout of planetpostgresql.org easy and quick for our visitors. See examples on Planet PostgreSQL. ============== I e-mailed this information to our bloggers on Jan 8. ..and I informed everyone PLUS planet list (a list hosted @postgresql.org) so that everyone would be kept up2date. That list includes at least 3 prominent community members other than me : Magnus, Robert (Treat) and Jim (Nasby). As the blogs are "fixed", I'll add them again. This is what I explicitly wrote in the e-mail that I sent to 3 people today. I hope this is clear for everyone. I'm upset that this thread took my half of the day. Also, I'm upset that you are writing this e-mail to a public list without asking me first. I'm a few clicks away from you on Jabber.

I'm sorry, I phrased it badly. What I meant was "Surely you wouldn't kick people off planetpostgresql.org arbitrarily, so what's really going on?" I realize now that the e-mail came out sounding like an accusation. Apologies. Can we put that policy up somewhere findable on postgresql.org, so that if this happens again in the future we can just point the disgruntled blogger to the policy? -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco

Well, I e-mailed this policy to everyone 2 months ago. For example, sent the same e-mail to Gregory (Stark) a few hours ago, just after adding him to planet. You are right, it is not written anywhere publicly. I will give it a priority this weekend and post the link to the right hand side of Planet PostgreSQL. -HTH.

I also mentioned to Lewis that there could probably be better advertisement of that policy. I am not sure why Lewis is in such an uproar here (see my link). Sincerely, Joshua D.

That's a very good idea. It'll make the life easier for those of us that field questions about it now and then (apart fromthis specific issue) //Magnus

See examples on Planet PostgreSQL. I have a small question about this. I have a small blog that is carried by planet but hosted on blogger...AFAIK, there is no way to break up the post there. Should I be looking for a new place to blog? (I can't stand serendipity). merlin

I don't know planet software at all but isn't it possible to make it shorten the entries coming from external blogs to an acceptable introduction? -- Guillaume
