Looks good. Do we need/want a policy on "flooding"? Like "max 5 posts
per day" or something like that? (I'm very much asking, I don't even
know what I think myself yet :-P)

Hmm. I thought of that, but:

1. We did not have such a problem until now
2. I don't want to limit people.

OTOH, since we are feeding PostgreSQL.org, it might be good to have a
limit of 2 blogs/day.

Objections?

Looks good for me, so +1.

Will you link this policy on the main page? ;-)

Kind regards

Selena just did 4 posts in a day on April 2nd, all related to the
conference. I wouldn't be surprised to find about that many from a single
person again, covering a show in the future. 2/day seems a bit low, 5/day
seems unlikely to be limiting to anyone while still providing protection
against serious flooding.

5 is not an arbitrary number: Planet PostgreSQL has 5 slots on
www.PostgreSQL.org , so I don't want it to be filled with a single
person at a time. But of course, this is up to -www team. I personally
don't care about it that much from Planet administration perspective.

IMO, it isn't that big of a deal because planet is fairly active so
even if someone dig blog 5 times, new blogs are going to show up
relatively quick.
