I don't think that this is a good method to assess the success of such a |
| 10 |
project. Don't you think the success of a planet site can be better |
| 11 |
measured with webserver stats you guys on -infra get? |

See above, I don't think defining metrics beforehand will work. If |
| 17 |
nobody posts interesting stuff there, no one will bother looking, post |
| 18 |
comments etc. In this case your logs will clearly indicate that the site |
| 19 |
isn't successfull and can be shut down. |

I guess we all agree that a few quality blogs (whatever that means) |
| 22 |
which attracts lots of users are better than lots of noise which is just |
| 23 |
posted to fulfill a quote. |
