Planet Revisited

It looks like my previous post was picked up by ITWire, extending on the issue with several references to the Foundation list archives, about the same issue being brought up by others there. Of course, Jeff still refuses to confront the issue, this time citing the smooth operation and maintenance of Planet GNOME over the past six months. Of course, that's only his point of view. But just like Federico, I too would like to know who the "potential maintainership team" is, and just where the hell they've been for the last six months. The perpetual lack of response on actual issues is just getting ridiculous.

As an attempt to help improve the situation, I've gone ahead and created the Planet Requests page on the wiki, so that we can catalogue requests and track them more easily, rather than relying on Jeff's personal mail, which he obviously has problems replying to.

Hopefully the wiki page will gain use quickly, and we can moderate the Planet better through tracking things on the wiki. Jeff's responses kind of remind me of this:

<center> <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yoy4_h7Pb3M&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yoy4_h7Pb3M&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> </center>

Update: Since the planet software intentionally violates my copyright and freedom of speech by filtering content, I've had to go for the workaround to make the YouTube clip I found, show up on Planet GNOME.

Update update: Planet also strips iframe tags, as well as object. I guess hope for a sane web is lost. Good luck W3C/Firefox Evangelists. You will need it.
