I think it is to the benefit of all Cayenne users if there is a bigger community: more patches, more feedback, maybe more plugins etc. Usually projects try to utilize Twitter for some news. Then there is always the chance to blog: http://blogs.apache.org/ I am willing to help in this area and write blog posts. Either on my blog (which has up to 5000 unique visitors a month) or on the asf blog or both. But I need a bit guidances from the active developers, to spot interesting changes in time and to understand them quickly. A review of the posts before publishing would also not be so bad :-) A more concrete proposal: - utilize Twitter for interesting changes, builds anything which is to small to blog but shows activity on Cayenne - utilize Apache Blog for news In addition I would like to start some kind of "Cayenne series" on my blog. Lets say 1 medium sized article all two weeks. For this I need some input about current changes or things of interest. Or even proof reading :-) I can also agree to co-writers and would accept complete articles from others. More ideas welcome, this is just a first shot. Cheers Christian
