I was not implying that you should require Ubuntu membership for the
Ubuntu-Women planet, I was merely suggesting that the people who have
blogs aggregated through could just as well use the Planet Ubuntu. You
can easily keep the current Ubuntu-Women planet while also aggregating
your individual blogs to the other Planet. That way you can both have
the inclusive planet for your own site, and also be visible on the main
community planet.

I must agree with Elizabeth that this information should be centralized
- partly to avoid duplication of effort, and partly to make it easy to
update. IMHO it would be better for Ubuntu-Women to focus on one-to-one
mentoring so that new contributors quickly get some personal contact and
context to get them interested and involved.

I don't really see how these small pages would be different from what
I'm putting in the Contribute doc. But please let me know if I
misunderstood something central here. :-)

Best regards,

Andreas
