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?
