was that the reason? One can fix that quite easily by identifying people
as a person one knows for instance from the mailing list

re the CMS matrix, everyone who wanted was given a account by me.
So it's very open in this case.

Re planet OSCOM, people often asked how one can subscribe their feed,
but often didn't get a reply. Unfortunately I also don't know and would
be happy to know this, because I also want to subscribe my feed.
So, can anyone explain how subscribing for planet OSCOM works?

how do you define initiative resp. being active?

I would like to be able to subscribe feeds to planet OSCOM.

I could also help on setting up a Wiki.
