Hi Romain,
First - I'd like to say that you where one of the bloggers I wanted to
e-mail and didn't get to it. I still remember our short session in useR 2009
where you showed me your plans for an R editor - I am still waiting to see
it once it comes out.

Regarding the rest of what you wrote, I'll reply to you in each section:

1) Planet R is limited (for years) to 26 feeds only, and I don't remember
seeing it evolve to include (or allow inclusion) of new R blogs that came
around.

R: that's not quite true. If you send an email to the maintainer of planet
R, he will add your feed (both my blog and r graph gallery was added this
year for example).

T:Thanks for the correction. Yet let's put this in context - I can't see on
the planetR website (http://planetr.stderr.org/) any e-mail or link to
contact. So for me, for example, I don't know how to add my own blog (What
IS the e-mail of the maintainer ?)


2) The feeds are of blogs and non blogs (such as wiki or cran updates). That
makes finding "reading material" inside it very difficult, since the site is
cluttered with a lot of "updates" from cranbarries and the wiki.
R: I see this as a good thing. In the program i use to read planet R
(thunderbird) you can filter out things you are not interested about.

T: But Romain, both planetR and R-bloggers are not meant for you, except as
a source for feeds. What you are saying is that you don't use the interface
either website offers, which is exactly my point.

R: I have requested to be added to yours anyway, might be good for my
pagerank.
T: Cool, I just added you.
