The difficulty is that I want my blog to be my blog. Sometimes I'll write about something "newsworthy" but most of the time it's just me. I really like something like LWN, where you have actual editorial judgement applied by a team of moderators. Just posting a link & extract from a news item/announcement is more than enough, unless you're doing (say) an interview of a "proper" announcement, at which point a dedicated article is appropriate. Unless... when you talk about "blogs", you don't mean individual articles, do you? Because that's basically what I'm suggesting. > And you can have the best of both worlds - create a wordpress for a newsteam > which publishes on planet and goes to news.gnome.org automatically and > additionally allow the news team to publish selected blog posts there with > one > click. Yeah... this sounds like what I had in mind :) We could just use the "Press this" bookmarklet that comes with Wordpress. Just tested it: http://blogs.gnome.org/bolsh/2011/06/08/article-collaboration-myths-from-gartner/ > Of course this idea takes more infrastructureal work than having a wordpress > as news.gnome.org so that'll be the limiting factor I suppose. Well, we have a wordpress, I'm thinking that you can just make news.gnome.org point to blogs.gnome.org/news and have news.gnome.org/announcements point to the current news.gnome.org, and have it as a link on your wordpress. The theme to make it fit on gnome.org is probably the bbiggest challenge. > BTW I hereby offer my help with editing and occasional writing (in case of a > wordpress blog) & selecting (in case of the aggregation proposal).

I am sure we accept :) Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary GNOME Foundation member [email protected] -- marketing-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
