I would like to create a GLEP for the implementation of an official |
5 |
section of gentoo.org for blogs. Projects such as mozilla have had |
6 |
great success with this. http://weblogs.mozillazine.org (I like to Read |
7 |
Asa's blog) |
8 |
|

|
10 |
Fans of the mozilla project read these developer's blogs with great |
11 |
interest and frequency. In addition, it helps to garner interest in the |
12 |
project and the blog's comment feature (where users can respond to |
13 |
developers and developers can respond to users) makes users have a more |
14 |
interactive role in the project. Mozilla fanatics (such as myself and |
15 |
other people I know) frequently find a wealth of interesting material |
16 |
in these developer's blogs and they email interesting posts to their |
17 |
friends, some of whom would never otherwise have heard of mozilla. |
18 |
These blog subjects aren't always about mozilla, which makes them even |
19 |
more interesting. I found Asa's blog interesting during the mars rover |
20 |
project because he created transcripts of the NASA press conferences, |
21 |
for example. |
22 |
|
23 |
This would be a great mechanism for getting people more interested in |
24 |
the Gentoo project. In addition, it would give developers a way to send |
25 |
messages to the community and help users get more aquatinted with |
26 |
developer's personality, which, in turn, would foster an even stronger |
27 |
sense of community between users and developers. |
28 |
|
29 |
Before I create the GLEP, i'd like to see what users and developers |
30 |
think about this blog idea. Because I want to get both the developers' |
31 |
and users' opinion, I'm sending this message to both gentoo-dev and |
32 |
gentoo-user. I hope you guys feel as enthusiastic about this as I do. |
