As others have commented, your proposal is far too restrictive. > Ubunutu-UK [sic] planet is not an acceptable platform for promoting > commercial interests. Following your CoC, then would my posts about the Official Ubuntu Book be unacceptable since I got paid for contributing to it, and Canonical get paid for people buying it? > Ubuntu-UK planet is not an acceptable place for discussions on > community conflicts/issues.

To me it is simply an aggregation of related feeds, which in this case the relation is simply that we are 'members' of Ubuntu-UK. Nothing more, nothing less. The planet is _not_ the Ubuntu-UK website - nor should it be so - and in fact states that "This page contains feeds from ubuntu-uk member's blogs". Nothing is said about it being restricted to FOSS related content on the planet itself or the wiki page that drives it. As far as I am concerned you are simply introducing barriers to contribution that are neither needed nor wanted, and your wording is far too expansive. -- Dave Murphy - http://www.schwuk.com
