We've had a GHC blog on Wordpress for a while, but it doesn't get used
much except for the occasional article that I post, and I find it quite
painful to use the Wordpress UI for blogging (maybe that's just me).
Anyway, it turns out there's a Trac plugin for blogging, and it looks
like it works pretty well. Ian has kindly installed it on the GHC Trac:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/blog
The advantages of having the blog on Trac include:
- we get to use wiki markup, which we already know
- we can link directly to other content (e.g. tickets) on Trac
- anyone with a developer account on the Trac can blog
- we might notice the "Blog" button more often and actually use it :)
Adding a post is easy: just click "New post" in the corner and type into
the form. We'll get it aggregated into the Haskell Planet in due
course, but first let's make sure it's doing what we want.
Cheers,
Simon
