Who would write news? Should planet be news? Undecided. * For now we will keep current content, and expand upon it as time, ideas and initiative dictate * Mentors * [[JohnCrawford|johnc4510]] of the US-AZ !LoCo was approved as a mentor * [[DanTrevino|dantalizing]] of the US-FL !LoCo was approved as a mentor = Conclusion = We're happy to welcome our new mentors. We are moving forward with trying to work with the current website hosting situation. The planet will continue to be updated with a new theme and more feeds to be added soon.
