Subject: Clarification on the Alt.Net bloggers feed
Hi all,

Before I get too heavily spammed with "add my feed" emails I'd just like to clarify the criteria I'd like to use for adding a blog to the feed.

My apologies for not doing this earlier as well - I want this process to be as transparent as possible, since it's your community and you should have a say in how it shapes up.

So, here's what I've come up with as an initial list:

1. Australian (duh!)
2. Blogs regularly.  I think at least one or two on-topic posts per month.
3. Blogs content mostly related to alt.net (e.g. OO principles, agile, unit testing, DDD, clean code, and so forth)
4. Writes good posts

Bonus points for:
4. Is active in an open source project that applies alt.net principles and practices
5. Has presented at alt.net groups or is active in the Australian Alt.Net community

Am I missing anything here? Or being to stringent?

For reference, the list of blogs that are in the feed at this stage are:

http://wolfbyte-net.blogspot.com/
http://damianm.com/
http://www.xerxesb.com/
http://richardsbraindump.blogspot.com/  (yes, it's mine. Is this a conflict of interest?)
http://www.paulbatum.com/
http://jamescrisp.org/

Do you think the blogs I've listed meet the criteria or should I remove some.  And what other blogs are there that meet the criteria and should/could be included?

Any and all feedback is welcome.

Regards,
Richard Banks
