Your mistake is in assuming that the folks who set up the planetgit.org site are talking to the git developers on this list; anyone can set up a domain name, "planet.org", without necessarily being officially tied to project . The planetgit.org site does say that people who want to be added to the site should contact webmaster@planetgit.org; you might want to do the same if you're not satisified with the content on that site. I also suspect that you might have gotten a more positive reaction if you said something along the lines of "hey, there seems to be this planetgit.org site which isn't tracking a lot of blogs; could some of the git developers consider sending their rss feed to webmaster@planetgit.org so they can track your blog entries?" Instead, you sound like a demanding *sshole, and people generally don't respond well to that. Best regards, - Ted P.S. Now I have to decide on my own whether or not I should ask planetgit.org to add http://thunk.org/tytso/blog/category/computers/linux/source-code-management/git/feed to planet git. The question is whether to reward impoliteness or not (which is a bad thing), factored against trying to make planetgit.org more useful (which is a good thing).
