I'd guess I'd be fine removing Bjorn as he's changing the focus of his blog and he's suggested we actually remove him.  I don't necessarily agree with removing either Meredith or Mark's blogs.  Sure, those two might have more personal content, but there are certainly others on there that have done that as well.  Better solution seems to be just truncating the posts.  (Or offering a "full" and truncated feed).  If there's a particular person who you don't like, then filter it out with Yahoo pipes or something similar.

A change log might be useful as well if it's not too much of a hassle to maintain.

What software does the planet run on?  Some sort of drupal module?
