Hi all,
I was thinking that we should really have a blog for the project. Not a
rarely-updated blog where we post occasional major release
announcements, but a blog where everyone has an account and posts all
the time -- new features that are implemented, guides and tutorials,
etc.
I don't want to do this unless it's something that multiple people in
the community would get behind and help maintain, though.
My thinking is that we should just use a free WordPress account[1], and
set up everyone who wants to contribute with an account on it.
We do have an existing Blogroll (temporarily non-functional, apparently)
in Redmine, but I think we should maybe have an official project blog,
and then use Blogroll to include that and other relevant posts.
We could potentially then replace the "News" blurb on our homepage with
a slick JS widget that pulls an RSS feed from the blog.
What do you all think of this plan? Is this something we should do?

What would the benefit of doing this over simple aggregating various
blogs together. The way we have it now, the blogroll (now fixed btw)
aggregates my blog, clalance's, and lutters, and we can add more through
the redmine interface.
Anyone can post Aeolus content to their blog, tag it, and have their
blog aggregated on the blog roll. This way those individual blogs can be
added to other blogrolls to promote aeolus there and the aeolus blogroll
can act as the official 'blog' (it also exports a rss feed which can be
agreggated in itself).
