I feel Planet Debian is about Debian contributors, not Debian
contributions and that's the way it should be.  Debian is the people.

The above condition seems silly: I doubt many contributors spend >60%
of our online time on Debian, let alone 60% of stuff worth writing up.

Also, some Debian work is reported automatically, so reproducing that
on Planet Debian would be pointless duplication and just linking it
isn't that interesting.

I like learning about what other stuff Debian contributors do.

FWIW, my blog has its mix set explicitly and currently consists of
      6 parts business
      4 parts environmental/local/cycling
      7 parts hacking
and I'm currently considering whether to split them completely for
commercial reasons.
