FWIW, I'd advocate for an aggregator rather than a multi-author blog. Something like planet.postgresql.org. That way authors could easily have their posts crossposted to multiple places (e.g. both a "planet postgis" and "planet postgresql" and their own corporate site and whatever else they might want) without having to post more than once... But I don't blog about postgis much, so I'd say those that do carry more weight :) -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
