I like the idea of re-blogging the entire thing with a link back to the company. Blogs take time, and time is money, so posting to the Pig blog first isn't likely. Even personal posts about Pig on my blog datasyndrome.com, I'd rather post them on my blog and reblog/link back on the Pig blog. This is consistent with common practice.
The real point here is to get common place to recognize, index and distribute blog post HOWTOs as documentation. If there's value in the post, we should reblog it with a link back.
