Wadler's Blog

Most Planet-like sites can use a tag-specific feed. Your Haskell posts could be tagged 'Haskell' and only those would go to Planet Haskell.
 

Thanks, Daniel. I will try to set tags accordingly. It might be appropriate for Planet Haskell to filter on the tags Haskell, Functional Programming, and Programming Languages, but I don't know how to set this up, or what filter, if any, the readers of Planet Haskell would prefer. Yours, -- P
 

I quite like the occasional "off-topic" entry on planets.

As long as they don't overtake the planet entirely, I think it is nourishing with a little diversity.

So I say keep going.
 

Yes, off-topic is fine for me too.
 

Yes, your blatant anti-semitism is rather annoying.
 

Sorry, I would have responded to the anti-semitism comment earlier but I was busy with shabbat dinner.
 

I'm utterly opposed to off-topic items. If I subscribe to Planet Haskell, I expect postings about Haskell. If I want interesting intelligent political comment etc. there are other feeds to which I can and do subscribe. Off topic is spam !
 

This is what the FAQ for Planet Haskell says:
"A common misunderstanding about Planet Haskell is that it republishes only Haskell content. That is not its mission. A Planet shows what is happening in the community, what people are thinking about or doing. Thus Planets tend to contain a fair bit of "off-topic" material. Think of it as a feature, not a bug."

People complaining about off-topic items should use a different aggregator. Certainly if a blog is almost entirely off-topic it should be requested to be removed but even then your blog would be justified by the following section:

"A syndication feed (RSS or Atom) is eligible to Planet if:

its content is written by a Haskell celebrity;
its content is written by someone who is active in the Haskell community;
it discusses Haskell-related matters frequently; or
it is dedicated to a Haskell topic (such as a software project written in Haskell);"

If you don't fall in at least the first category, then its hard to know who should.

Ok, anti-Israelism, or anti-Zionism, it is hard to tell. Sounds rather dissonant though. "GADTs and abstraction", "Haskell EDSL", "Poor children of Palestine brutally murdered".
