So total silence. Is that the best we can come up with? Who asked for the project blog in the first place? It wasn't me. And it wasn't Dennis. But so far we're the only ones who have written up posts.
Please do take another look at this note and sign up for a post. It could be informational. It could be an announcement. It could be seeking volunteers. It could be seeking feedback. Whatever. Our ooo-dev list averages 56 posts/day. So it should not be hard to find material for a blog post every two weeks. I'll sign up for the next post, planning on one related to the IP review of AOOo, to give the reader some sense of what we're doing and why we can't just immediately release AOOo 3.4.0. Please add your own ideas to the Editoral Calendar and volunteer to write a future post. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA If we don't start getting some additional volunteers here, I'll propose that we delete the blog altogether. So far, its existence has received more note in the press for lack of updates than for any content there. I'd rather have no blog if we can't do better than that. -Rob On Sat, Sep 24, 2011 at 3:11 PM, Rob Weir <[email protected]> wrote: > I've added a wiki page to track this.
