            Bug ID: 139579
           Summary: [Planet WebKit] Raise the number of posts per feed to
                    import.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

The number of posts to import for each feed on http://planet.webkit.org is set to 2 (new_feed_items = 2). This may make sense on some planets with tons of authors. But on planet webkit there are only 12 feeds, and almost half of them are already aggregators on its own that include posts from multiple authors on the same feed ("Adobe Web Platform", "Igalia WebKit", "Qt Labs", "Surfin’ Safari", "University of Szeged").


This causes some issues like:

 * The planet is still displaying posts from 2008!:

 * Very recent posts (< few months) are beeing discarded:

    http://blog.ryumiel.net/articles/introducing-threaded-compositor/



items_per_page is set to 60. This means that the planet will display up to 60 posts on the main page.
But since there are only 12 feeds and only 2 posts per feed is allowed this means that the limit is never reached,
therefore really old posts from authors that don't blog anymore are never discarded meanwhile very recent posts from authors that blog often are discared.

So, let's raise this number to 6, and let the posts show on planet.webkit.org be discarded based on its age rather than an artificial limit of 2 per feed.
