Move edin.no-ip.com from planet to talk

i agree and moved the site to the talk pages

Thanks!

I can only say this is too pity as none of contact message to me. If I void the rule of using Drupal Planet, I would like to correct it. As mentioned in http://drupal.org/node/214436#comment-706265, I am not subscripting this queue and so didn't be noticed. It seems to be a sudden kill for me and the feeling is really bad ;-(

reopening this, if I acted too soon, let another admin put me straight. other wise, close.

Skimming over the contents of the blog, the posts basically fall into two categories:

#1: Stuff Edison is working on in the Drupal community; primarily a couple of themes and research on further developing Drupal's database abstraction layer -- clearly Planet material. This is excellent information to know as we try and further abstract our database handling in Drupal 7 and beyond, and Edison Wong is among the most (if not the most) knowledgeable people on the subject.

#2: Repeated, nearly *constant* marketing/promotion of the author's "Siren" Drupal fork. -- clearly NOT Planet material. This basically amounts to spam, and is what people are upset about.

What I would suggest is that hswong3i goes back and re-tags the stuff on his blog like http://edin.no-ip.com/html/?q=db2_varchar_with_4000_characters_logical_l... that's of general Drupal developer community interest as "Drupal planet" and we put /that/ feed in rather than your "Drupal" tag feed which contains a lot of self-promotion. That seems like it would satisfy all parties.

Then as a general editorial/cultural tip, it's best to be cognizant of what (and how often) you're posting to a global feed like this. A post once a week saying, "Here is a status update on the $foo theme" is less likely to offend people than a post every 2 days saying "This is done now!" , "That is done now!" , "Now this is done!"

A few well-written posts here and there that people stop and actually read is much better than people tuning your blog out mentally because it screams "noise" to them. And I don't want to end up back discussing this again in a short period of time. :\

@webchick: thanks for your suggestion, and I have go though most post in http://edin.no-ip.com/html/?q=taxonomy/term/27. Already re-tag some post NOT included in terms "Drupal", and just left those Siren's stuff in "Siren". Some theme related topic are removed from "Drupal", but only left those I guess it should be spotlight changes.

Sorry about my careless action, if let anyone feeling upset about it. Thanks for this prompt and polite reply, and I will be careful about how to tag and edit my content for public channel in the coming future.

P.S. do we have a public guideline about how to make use of D.O. resource, especially as like as "Drupal talk" and "Planet Drupal"? I would like to bookmark them, and avoid the step over of community guideline once again, Thanks a lot ;-)

May I know if my follow up actions are valid or not?

I'd like to get a couple more people chiming in here before I take action.

Any takers?

I visited http://edin.no-ip.com/html/?q=taxonomy/term/27 as quoted in #7 and the first story title is Some progress review about Siren development. Has there been any change? Or is the term tid number above incorrect? 27 appears to be "Drupal" so it's first article doesn't look like much change to me.

I guess the title should be change in order to have a better feeling.

The main target of http://edin.no-ip.com/html/?q=node/392 is about the review of multiple database research progress, e.g. the difficulties when researching pdo_oci and ibm_db2, and my on going target about sqlite. Since I give a name to this overall proposal, I seems "Siren == research for multiple database backend supporting in Drupal 6/7".

I would like to change its title if this will cause any confusion, e.g. "Some progress review about Drupal 6/7 multiple database backend research"

Ok, based on informal consensus by a few people in IRC (which cancelled out the 'neutral' feelings from several more people), I've gone ahead and re-added Edison Wong to Drupal Planet with the newly Siren-stripped feed.

@webchick: once again, i need thanks for your kindly help ;-)

thanks all for solving this!
