The planet-web hacking file says the editorial policies "seem fascist", 
which seems to acknowledge that view...

I would suggest opening pgo as a free-for-all for those with commit 
access, but adding personalization features to pgo.

For instance, add the ability to show just the post title for certain 
posters, with an "expand" button to see the hackergotchi + post. Then if 
John. Q. Gnome keeps posting shopping lists or pictures of kittens, you 
click the "collapse view for this blogger by default" button. And if 
they post something cool-sounding, you can click-to-expand.

That way you get democracy at both ends - posting and viewing.
