[Ubuntu-be] Opening a blogroll and implementing social stuff to the ubuntu-be website

[martijn cielen]

I'd suggest splitting things up:

1. a blog with access for a limited number of people, to blog about events/...
2. a planet.ubuntu-be where all Belgian ubuntu users can be aggregated
(cfr. planet.grep.be)

kindest regards,

Martijn
