planet status

Here’s another status update report. As far as Planet Gentoo goes, there’s really not much to say. Things have been plugging away well. I have a few bugs I need to tend to, but nothing severe. I just noticed this morning that Planet Planet has released a version 2.0. I’d like to check that out and see if it offers any improvements.

The only thing on my wishlist right now for Planet Gentoo / Universe is a website redesign. Someone asked me once, “Why can’t we look nice — like Planet KDE?” Good question. I’m open to ideas.

Planet Larry is doing well, too. I have a lot of stuff I still need to work on, and I just haven’t had time. Since the flood of signups has stopped, I went ahead and setup three more language-only feeds, bringing the total to four:

The Polish and Chinese ones only have two users each, with the French only one, but that’s fine. Right after I originally added the German one (which only had four at the time, I think), I immediately got a few more users wanting to get added. I’m hoping the same will happen here. I hope I didn’t forget any other languages to add right now (yes, English is coming, it’s not nearly as easy though).

What I’d really like to do is add one for spanish-speaking Gentoo users. I know they’re out there too. Vamos, che, quiero leer de que pasa en las vidas latinas con Linux. Y viva la Argentina. :)

Oh, and one nitpick I have — if you’re being pulled on Planet Larry, and I don’t have a province (or city, or county, or state, whichever is relevant) for your user, please send it in to me (email: beandog@g.o). It’s really cool knowing where everyone’s from.
