We - Dirk, Duncan, Zonker, Stephan and myself - had some discussions the last days and I would like to get your input on the following proposal.
Thanks, Andreas
Problem:
Only very few developers working on openSUSE related projects share with others what they are doing and why this is interesting. Blogging is the current way to do this - but many developers understand under blogging more than sharing work stuff.
Idea:
To lower the barrier for developers to share information (and setting up their own blog at a free hoster), let's create a blog (proposed name see below - for this text "the site") that everybody somehow involved with openSUSE (both external community members and Novell employees - this should be available for all formal "openSUSE members" ) could get an account for sharing technical aspects of the developers work. We should create several categories or tags initially, e.g. YaST, and ask that every blog entry is part of at least one category so that e.g. all YaST blogs can be read together. It should be easy for developers to add tags/categories to their posts.
In general I agree with Benji's comments on this. I like the idea but a "Cool Blogs" kind of setup is counter-productive in my opinion (same post posted in two places), but a "place for developers to easily host/have their openSUSE blogs" is a nice idea. It could encourage some developers to blog more. Think: http://kdedevelopers.org style where people are also individually on the feed of Planet KDE. I like lizards.opensuse.org too.
