The future of those Qt blogs hosted under *.nokia.com is being discussed at Nokia right now and a decision is expected "soon" (don't quote me on this, though) Qt Labs blogs are granted to be moved, I guess it's more or less a matter of ToDo priorities. The Qt Blog itself is still under discussion because it is part of qt.nokia.com and the approach there has been a lot more related to Nokia's business than the purely technical labs blogs. It's no rocket science but you need to be more careful with the cutter. In any case we need to think of the right way to channel of that information. This is not only about who can write posts but about who decides what is aggregated or promoted, and how. Nowadays we have blogs hosted anywhere, company announcements, social media and what not. As you say it can't be anymore a matter of Nokia employees alone deciding. > Another idea, maybe a bit more abstract, is to ask maintainers/ active > commiters and approvers to write occasionally on what is going on in > their part of the project.

Followers of a certain component should be able to follow the relevant activity without having to swim in code reviews and bug reports. Part of this problem will be solved with the arrival of more specialized mailing lists. Still, for good project inter-communication a higher level of news / announcements is welcome. Could be solved with specialized blogs, or good use of tags in aggregated blogs. ... and all this would lead to the discussion about the http://qt-project.org homepage and how to keep it up to date with the coolest info - automatically. And then someone will raise the point of being able to customize your own homepage based on your preferences. -- Quim _______________________________________________ Marketing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
