That's exactly what I had in mind, maybe it didn't come right through in the too-long mail. :) > On Sun, May 17, 2009 at 12:28 PM, Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri > <barbi...@profusion.mobi> wrote: >> >> On Sun, May 17, 2009 at 11:54 AM, Thomas Gstädtner >> <tho...@gstaedtner.net> wrote: >> > Hi, >> > >> > in the "Twitter"-thread this week on the devel ML we had a discussion >> > about how we could make a serious and regular "news"-section for >> > E.org, not only external on twitter/facebook/etcpp. >> > I already did some suggestions, but now I'd like to make it more >> > concrete: >> > As I see it, it would be best to have the news in a kind of digest >> > form, not a lot of single items (that is what the existing twitter >> > feed can be used for). >> > Many projects do it based on a regular date - be it weekly, monthly or >> > per quarter - I think this concept would be also great for E. >> > As the twitter feed contains many small things of all kind, I think >> > the news on E.org should be only more relevant stuff for the users >> > (not developers!) that do not want to read the mailinglists, >> > twitter-feeds, and similar on a regular basis.

The only thing missing is where to put it. In general the wiki could be used to more than collecting content over the week to post it on another platform (e.g. E.org main site), it could also be used as only platform. But that would make it kind of difficult 1) to differ the over-the-week progress from the final result (if we would use that weekly concept) and 2) pretty hard to find for "outsiders" because trac might be to find over a link on E.org but under the sketchy name "Tracker" and with too much information overkill on the trac starting page. I think it would have to be easier to find for people who want it quick and easy and don't want to spend half an hour on the site. >> -- >> Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri >> http://profusion.mobi embedded systems >> -------------------------------------- >> MSN: barbi...@gmail.com >> Skype: gsbarbieri >> Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 >> >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial >> Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables >> unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine >> for externally facing server and web deployment. >> http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects >> _______________________________________________ >> enlightenment-devel mailing list >> enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net >> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
