[yast-devel] Moving the team's blog
As mentioned in a call last week, we have been encouraged to move our blog out of lizards.opensuse.org because there are plans to shut down that service. For me, the most obvious substitute would be just adding a blog section to yast.github.io (that is, Jekyll + github pages). It looks like is possible to enable rss for github pages and the only missing part would be comments. Not that bad, since all the really useful feedback we have gotten from the blog posts has always come from the mailing lists, not from direct blog comments. If we really want to have comments, there are solutions out there using disqus or github issues[1][2]. Just google for something like blog github pages or jekyll github comments Looks like a candidate PBI for next sprint. Cheers.

+1 Using Github pages would allow us to use the usual review workflow via pull requests. Also writing Markdown is easy, we already write the PR description in MD so in the ideal case it would be just a copy&paste. You can edit the posts directly in the Github Web UI. So the barrier for writing the posts should be really low. That means someone else than Ancor could do it ;-)

Yes, the RSS support is really simple (it's present even in the default template generated by Jekyll, [1]).

How much feedback we got so far via the comments? I guess not much, so I thing we can start with a simple blog without comments, just telling the readers to write the feedback to yast-devel. We can add the discussion support as the next step.
