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. > Would you also be interested in blogging too on https://blogs.apache.org/ > > An example from OFBiz is something like this > > https://blogs.apache.org/ofbiz/entry/apache_ofbiz_news_december_2016 Do you mean that the blog would be a monthly news digest mostly? > Thanks > Sharan > >> All in all, it would be nice to make some good noise about FreeMarker :-) >> >> Jacopo >> >> [*] https://twitter.com/freemarker >> > -- Thanks, Daniel Dekany
