heya, the debian project uses planet.debian.org, planet.opensuse.org doesn't look to shabby and would be under project control this is not a request to rename it to planetopensuse, just add a link people might find intuitive =)

A grand idea, but not likely to happen in the very near future. The Planet is one of the few services offered that is completely managed by the community and not under the management of Novell and its servers. If we were to set up planet.opensuse.org (and I agree it would be nice), we would have to relinquish at least *some* control of the planet's server management to Novell.
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.
Perhaps someday when we have our Foundation established and we have enough proper funding to create an infrastructure to manage such servers, we can address it then. But until then, planet.opensu.se is the way to go.
