Gnome In November 2007, we reported on the GNOME Board Elections of 2007, where Jeff Waugh was getting serious slack flack from some people in the GNOME community. One of the complaints centred around Waugh's apparent inability to properly take care of requests to be syndicated on Planet GNOME, or other maintenance issues related to PGO. Six months later, this complaint is still valid, according to Rodney Dawes.

Granted, planet.gnome.org isn't that important, but it does lend credibility to the openness and activity of GNOME.

Comparing to KDE isn't quite the same. dot.kde.org is always active. An outsider can see what's happening in the KDE world with little effort, so KDE Planet isn't as important.

In GNOME, http://gnomedesktop.org is rarely updated, so Planet GNOME is a lot more significant if an outsider wants to keep track of GNOME. IRC, mailing lists, Guadec, etc are good for development, but aren't good for outsiders or casual interested but potentially new contributors to GNOME.
