Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] planet.code4lib.org -- 3 suggestions

No one other than me is managing it at present. Pretty much the only
'management' I do is adding blogs whenever someone asks me too. (I also
did just a bit of fine-tuning of the CSS for the html version).  I think
it may be the planet software that decides what order to display
lastname and firstname, but feel free to email me ones that are
displaying oddly, and I'll see if I can fix them. I'm not going to get
into serious hacking of the planet software though, or replacing it with
other software (I _maybe_ could be convinced to upgrade it if there's an
upgrade available).  (if anyone else wants to do any of that stuff,
raise your hand on the list, and we can probably get you access).

An unanswered question is when or if the community ever expects me to
_remove_ blogs from the planet.  It's not clear. I don't want to remove
them if people are going to see it as an abuse of power or something, as
some have indicated they would. (Most could probably care less either
way).

Other blogs people have suggested I remove from the code4lib aggregator,
as consisting of mainly nontopical content for code4lib, are Mark
Lindner and Meredith Farkas.  I guess say so if you'd like to LEAVE
those on the aggregator, and if nobody says so, I'll leave them. If
someone does say so... then I have no idea. :)
