Re: Proposal - merge the Foundation blog into gnome.org
Hi, I totally agree with you Alan as we discussed in IRC a few days ago. The Foundation and the GNOME project itself should use one main stream of News located on the homepage of gnome.org. As you can see at [1], the Foundation's blog has been a bit inactive since several months now (my post there is recent but the previous is dated July 12th), mainly because having several news feeds means having multiple writers and editors and that requires time and organization we would love seeing focused somewhere else.
