</span>I assume these guidelines are different for the contents on<br>
<a href="http://planet.gluster.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">planet.gluster.org</a>. Some posts from other blogs seem to get syndicated<br>
on <a href="http://blog.gluster.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">blog.gluster.org</a> too. However the posts from <a href="http://blog.gluster.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">blog.gluster.org</a> are not<br>
all on the planet?<br>

Could you explain the differences between blog and planet from a readers<br>
point of view? As at one point we recommended our users to only watch<br>
the planet, and not the blog anymore. This obviously has changed, and<br>
the blog is still being maintained. I hope the blog gets the updated<br>
design too now, that wasnt done because the Planet was becoming the main<br>
source of blog posts.<br>

<br>
</span>Ok, so the blog is not intended for very detailed and technical<br>
articles? Where do you recommend to post those?<br>
<span class=""><br>

<br>
</span>No idea what 4th grade level is... Its definitely different per country.<br>
Maybe you can point to an example post for this?<br>

<br>
</span>How do people sign up to become part of the "editorial team"? That<br>
sounds like a great way for some users to contribute to the community.<br>

<br>
</span>I suggest the "editorial team" hits the publish button, and writers only<br>
need to care if they get a -1. That is basically how we do patch reviews<br>
too, the ones approving click the button. (Otherwise you'll need to<br>
specify how many +1's someone needs, and if only people from the<br>
editorial team can +1, or others as well.)<br>

<br>
</span>Once this draft is more complete and ready for broader acceptance,<br>
please file a pull request so that it can be included in the<br>
documentation. We already have a note about the Planet, this would be a<br>
nice addition.<br>
