The idea when I was still at Nokia was that the Labs blogs would remain as it
is -- it's a blog from Nokia developers working on Qt, the trolls. If Nokia
wishes to maintain its own official blog about Qt, they're welcome to do so.
The Qt project needs a blog of its own for news updates, such as creation of
important mailing lists, releases coming up, etc. I think it's a matter for
the Marketing team (this mailing list) to decide who and when can do that.
It also needs a blog aggregator, so other people can make sure the news are
published. I don't think the Qt project needs to provide a blog publishing
system for everyone, as you can get your own at wordpress.com or blogspot.com,
then simply aggregate into Qt Project blogs.

I've been meaning to write a "this month in QtCore" blog, as I am the
maintainer for that area. I just haven't got around to doing so.
