Devs,
I'm wondering if there is interest in creating/maintaining a blog for the community. Apache has infrastructure for this[1] and some instructions for setting one up[2]. I have seen other projects use a different service, so we could go that route too. I'm not a big fan of the Apache blog layout, but it may be the easiest thing to do. Other than an email announcement, there is no other place that I know of for publishing community information. If you search for "Accumulo 1.6 new features" or "Accumulo 1.6 planning" you won't find much. I'm thinking of things like: - A place to highlight Accumulo features - Major features planned in next release - A release happened - Explanation of new features, how to configure, etc. - Notes from community meetings There does appear to be some process mentioned in [2] regarding previews and approval before publishing. Another thing to consider, which is not mentioned, is cross-posting to a company blog site as well. [1] http://blogs.apache.org/ [2] http://www.apache.org/dev/project-blogs -Dave
