Speaking of Planet SUSE, which I was earlier, a quick preview of a thought.

We now have over 100 feeds aggregated on Planet SUSE which is a lot. Not all of the are prolific. Some, I'm sure, must be out of date and no longer maintained.

A while ago, I had an email complaining (politely) about one of the people who is syndicated. I was reluctant to remove said feed and so it remains but it got me thinking.

It's my intention to add an easy way to block individual feeds. The way I'm planning to do it will require no patching of the Planet code on my part which will mean that it's not broken by future code updates. This is a good thing.

Anyway, just thought people would want to know.

Of course, the 80% of readers who do so via the RSS feeds won't get this facility - sorry.

Caught up on Planet SUSE additions, including Jan who works for Novell in the OpenOffice.org team.

What's interested me about Jan is that he's producing a HOWTO for Debian people moving to openSUSE. People who read my People of openSUSE interview will know that I generally wouldn't want to pressure people to switch from another distro to openSUSE but if people want to move from Debian to openSUSE, Jan's HOWTO could really help.
