Let's say the rule is as follows: anything that is a valid and interesting blog post will be accepted. So you just have to wrap the information you want to give into a blogpost form. For example, imagine that you want to announce Lily 2.17.1 release. Instead of writing something like: We are proud to announce the release of GNU LilyPond 2.17.1. This release contains the following improvements: - bug 235234 was fixed, - feature foobar was added, - objects use skylines instead of boxes for calculating collisions. whis is boring, write something like this: After several months of intense development, an important improvement is implemented in the newly released LilyPond 2.17.1: the program no longer treats objects as if they were rectangles, but uses skylines to approximate their shapes. Thanks to this feature, things that used to look like this: <ugly image> now look like this: <nice image> There are several other improvements in this version - you can see a full list here <link>. I think you can see the difference immediately. So, everyone's invited - just write in a way that can be interesting to outsiders as well as long-time users. best, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
