🌐 **What is Planet FAIR?**
* A community-curated aggregation of WordPress-related blog posts — development, themes, plugins, advocacy, events, and more.
* Inspired by [Planet Drupal](https://www.drupal.org/drupalorg/docs/content/planet-drupal), this version is designed specifically for sites sourcing content from [https://fair.pm](https://fair.pm/). It aims to share valuable WordPress knowledge that visitors might not otherwise encounter.
---
🟢 **Content that is great for Planet FAIR**
* How-tos, guides, and tutorials on using WordPress effectively
* Plugin, theme, and block announcements with meaningful discussion or background (especially from FAIR distributions)
* Case studies showing how WordPress was used in a project
* Presentation slides or notes from WordPress talks and meetups
* Community news, such as initiative progress updates
* Posts about FAIR itself, including updates on FAIR governance, new FAIR features, or community contributions to FAIR
---
🚫 **Content that does not fit Planet FAIR**
* Press releases (should be shared via each sites own channels when using FAIR)
* Sponsored posts
* Job announcements or hiring calls (mentioning a career change is fine if not the main focus)
* General posts that only mention WordPress briefly
* “I Love WordPress\!” posts without actionable or valuable information
* Posts focused primarily on affiliate links or purely monetized content
---
📝 **Other places for special WordPress-related content**
* Press releases are not included; sites sourcing this from [https://fair.pm](https://fair.pm/) should share those through their own official channels.
* Event announcements should be posted on local Meetup pages, WordCamp, and event websites.
---
📬 **Request to add a feed**
* Your RSS or Atom feed must include only content appropriate for Planet FAIR and aligned with FAIR guidelines.
* Your feed must contain at least one post created within the past three months.
* Feeds must pass validation (e.g., [W3C feed validator](https://validator.w3.org/feed/)).
* Use excerpts of 6001000 characters for clarity.
* Enable comments if possible to encourage dialogue.

---
🔄 **Request to update a feed**
* Use the same criteria as for adding a new feed.
* Submit a GitHub issue titled “Update the \[your-domain\] feed,” including the feed URL, preferred display name, and (if possible) a link to the original addition request.
---
**Feeds that may be removed**
* If they no longer meet content guidelines or FAIR alignment
* If they violate trademark policies
* If they contain spam, offensive content, or get hacked
* If they no longer work or are no longer WordPress-specific
* If they are inactive for more than three months
---
🚨 **Report inappropriate content**
* Report via a GitHub issue if a post appears to violate these guidelines.
* Please refrain from commenting directly on posts to inform authors that their content is unwelcome; moderators will review and determine the appropriate actions.
---
⚖️ **Appeals process**
* Feed owners may appeal decisions by creating a follow-up issue.
* Appeals will be discussed by Planet FAIR moderators, whose decision will be final.
---
🤝 **Help review requests**
