I spent most of today reading 1700 messages. I don't think I have enough material to publish DWN this week though.

Meta

I thought about posting an article to gather meta discussion in, but I couldn't write a suitable one and I'm lazy.

I've very confused/concerned about where Dimwit is supposed to fit in the certification scheme. If all it leads to is threads like this one and bad feelings, why bother? It's so very negative compared to the other ratings too. I'm also confused why someone like Elliot Lee should pop up, self-certify as a Dimwit (I assume in jest), and collect 20+ certifications as such by people who must not realize that Elliot is a long-time red hat guy who has contributed to projects like rpm. Either I'm missing the joke, or this doesn't seem healthy.

My most wished-for feature would be for Advogato to keep track of which diaries you've seen, and only list new ones on the front page. We're already cookied, so that seems doable.
