[TYPO3-typo3org] What should happen to buzz.typo3.org?

Can't we have both actually?

A blog system where people could buzz without the need to have / maintain their own blog system
*and* a TYPO3 Planet where feeds get aggregated and where people can push an "external" blog entry
to be listed there. I find that a Planet would bring the benefit to collect all the noise around
TYPO3 and therefore would increase visibility.

Isn't it the occasion to properly finish the (FLOW3) blog plugin if there are enough good souls
around. I would prefer that over WP, personally. But that's a matter of man power eventually.

True that a Planet might have less flavour and focus that a buzz. That's because two independent
systems with different needs in mind would make sense.
