Chris,

Please don't take silence to mean acquiescence.

People haven't had much time to read and understand your proposal or its
implications, still less to craft a considered response.

I doubt if I'm the only person who hasn't yet grasped:

  * What a 'planet' actually *is*
  
  * What WYLUG might use it for, that the existing wordpress blog can't
    do?

    http://www.wylug.org.uk/blog/

... and I'm one of the people 'with access to wylug web hosting'.

Please don't infer from this that I'm in the slightest bit opposed to
your proposal. 

I simply not sure that I understand it and all of its potential
implications.  

Perhaps you could help out with a little explanation and justification?

That's probably not a problem, but there are limits to what we can do.

Leeds Uni hosts for us. 

They are very supportive, but have a duty to consider the security and
maintenance implications for themselves of any executable code that we
might deploy.
