Re: [ZWeb] new zope.org: zope newsletter
Hey, Sorry it took a bit to reply to this. Andrew Sawyers wrote: I asked this in IRC, but don't think I got an answer: Should I work on setting up something on one of the current zope.org app servers or do we have another place where this work will be done. I started something awhile back when Sidnei and I got into a conversation about zope.org salvation and didn't comeplete it. I can work with Mark at Zope Corp for us to hace something to show... I don't care about writing text as the rest of the group. If there's no plan, I'll see if Mark can help with enabling us to get some progress to that end. While we definitely need to change zope.org eventually and it's great you have the interest and the access to set stuff up on it, I think we should focus first on structure, text and presentation, then worry about the technology. For now, I'd like to stick with a bunch of restructured text files that, if we want to see it in some presentation, can convert with some scripts. Once we actually know what we want to host on zope.org in more detail, we can start wondering about what the technical infrastructure should be.

Though it would be nice to have one, a newsletter may be too formal an undertaking for a community site. There was a time when the zope.org site presented a feature called Zope Weekly News, where the name weekly comes from a loose definition of week which refers to any period of days longer than a week and shorter than a year. I think a community site that tries to do newsletters takes the risk of going the way of ZWN. Unless someone is paid to do this, I think we better not do it. A blog should be enough and even those aren't that easy to keep updated. We could also compile automatically some news items, Releases and announcements and call them the newsletter. i would think planetzope.org fits this description nicely Carlos de la Guardia ___ Zope-web maillist - Zope-web@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-web

Luckily Michael Haubenwallner of planetzope is a datamunger, and is working on involving other sources of news, such as zope related del.icio.us links. Michael, what do you think? To answer this (and what Tonico mentioned in his posting) i'm using del.icio.us as a cheap way for collecting data and organizing content from which a zope.org newsletter can be written.

I think watchword for anything we do for zope.org is that we can't accomplish it unless it requires the minimum of work to get done. Perhaps what we'll end up with is not a newsletter, but if it's useful, we should put it on zope.org. Writing text is cheap. Mining existing links is cheap. Reusing existing data and text is cheap.
