Please pardon my ignorance - what benefit does the aggregator provide, |
| 13 |
over a link list to the developers' blogs? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Note that this concept could be expanded to have links to multiple |
| 16 |
locations for each developer, so one could also collect their commits |
| 17 |
information, as well as list a personal blog in addition to their |
| 18 |
development blog. To make some sanity out of the chaos that the logical |
| 19 |
extreme would provide, one could have a separate page to hold the links |
| 20 |
for each dev. |

The advantage of the above solution is, of course, infrastructure relief |
| 23 |
as well as complexity reduction. It would also give people an easy way |
| 24 |
to see which blog sites the various devs feel do a good job, which would |
| 25 |
answer the question of 'where do I go to get a blog?'. |

I understand that it would give each of the devs control over their blog |
| 28 |
appearance, instead of having a global look across all the aggregated |
| 29 |
blogs. I think such a global look is overrated. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I understand that the aggregate view would not be subject to downtime on |
| 32 |
individual devs' blogs when their blog site went down. I'm not aware of |
| 33 |
any blogs having a significant read stability problem, although I could |
| 34 |
be out of touch here. I would think, however, that any dev that used an |
| 35 |
unstable blog would have motivation to move. |
