If we want to have gnome hackers and users diaries on the gnome site
without hurting the advogato community, why not just import them from
advogato. That way everyone can update their diary on advogato and it
will updated on gnome.org aswell.

Any of the advogato diaries can be downloaded in xml format, like this
for example

http://www.advogato.org/person/raph/diary.xml

However, this only work for people that keep their dairy on advogato and
not for others. So it does not solve all of the problems.
