I think we've not done much work advertising it yet so I don't think we
should close it so soon.  No need to impose a hard deadline just yet imo.
 Let's see if we can get another surge of people to do it if we promote it a
bit more.

I've grown very lazy about writing blog posts for planetkde but I could do
this if nobody else has time.  But first, are there any other takers to do
this?

Lukas, if you have a blog you can find the rules about getting onto the
planet at: http://planetkde.org/.  Just click the "Add your blog" link at
the top for instructions.
