Couldn't we just add it as an entry to the opensuse.org DNS server? I am not 
suggesting hosting it on the opensuse infrastructure, just a pointer to the 
community planet =) 
Or is there the usual fear about "inproper" behaviour on the planet like posts 
about the Packman repository? I know this is a legal minefield, but a simple 
redirect? Maybe add a disclaimer page that this is a community run page, 
normally has the adress planet.su.se and is not related in any way to Novell?
Currently we have a link in the wiki on the community page to the planet so it 
wouldn't be that different.
