Its often easier to start that way, but it is most-often not an easier
way to achieve something good. I'm glad you feel this is the right way
to go. This means we can instantly start focusing on the things that
actually adds value to our projects and users.

In tune with the above, I suggest focusing on the content first. Find
out the rough scope of the content we want to provide, and then
prioritize the most important things first.

Fine by me.

Just toss the file online somewhere, and link to it here.

A planet is often considered to be "a view of the world" of people
added to the planet, little to nothing is considered offtopic. Its a
nice, free-flow style that a lot of people like. But we might want to
add more specific aggregation of content, like only project news, only
libre graphics works or similar.
