I don't get this one. If someone is subscribed to the seed of
freemarker, won't (s)he be annoyed if he gets news about ASF that has
nothing to do with FreeMarker? (Yes, it's related because FreeMarker
is at Apache, but you see... it's not helpful for the subscriber.)

That was also my impression on the OFBiz tweet, as a software
developer. The last is important, that I'm looking at it as a
developer. FreeMarker, unless OFBiz, is mostly only interesting for
them I believe. It doesn't have an UI that a manager type could click
around. It's not a complete end-user product, it's Java library used
internally by other products.

Do you mean that the blog would be a monthly news digest mostly?
