Ant Happy to contribute. I think the uname/password will be problematic if you intend to distribute it and this is intended to be the blog voice of tuscany. Maybe it needs to stay a committer thing, or even have one person manage posts, and use the mail list as a submission vehicle for others?
Alternatively we need to find some hosted community blogging service (although I did a quick google and didn't find anything obvious - was just a quick look though) or set up our own (would need some hosted LAMP service) and hand out unames/passwords as required. b.t.w jroller gave me an error saying they are not accepting new users. So blogger (i think blogspot is part of google also) vs bloglines? S On 6/8/06, ant elder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
How about setting up a blog for the Tuscany project? We could use it to publicize interesting events for all the different Tuscany sub projects - new releases, use of Tuscany by another another project/company, upcoming conference talks or slides from presentations, new spec release etc. Other projects do this, for example the Dojo project has one at: http://blog.dojotoolkit.org/ I think I could sometimes find interesting things to comment on from the Java SCA perspective, but to be successful there would need to be more frequent posts, so buy in from others involved in Tuscany to make sure there are regular topical posts - would others be willing to participate? If so, the next question is how to do this. There's various free blog sites, http://www.jroller.com/, although thats specifically Java so may not fit our multi-language nature so http://www.bloglines.com/ maybe better, I know some other Apache WS people use that. Any other suggestions or which blog host to use? Then there's how to administer the blog userid and password, i guess the obvious thing is to share that with every Tuscany committer so all the committers can post when ever they want, although there are other Tuscany users and contributors who may want to post so should we consider distributing the uid/pswd more widely? ...ant
