I can assure you that my blogs are not going anywhere anytime soon.

Besides that, I even plan to use those blogs later for a better
sustained medium like the Gentoo wiki. If necessary, we could also have
some community interaction like you suggested on the Gentoo forums.

I think I understand your concern, and let me reassure you that I am not
getting done with this project after GSoC ends. That being said, I think
it would be best if we focus on the community work once I get over with
my GSoC obligations.

I'll be happy to respond to more queries.
