Hi all, I'm wondering how much interest there is an an official blog for Apache Brooklyn. We already have a number of social media channels[1] but there could be value in an official blog closely associated with our Apache project rather than being on a third-party site.
Key questions are: - Can we get enough content to make regular posts? - Would this distract from other areas (e.g. is it easier to write a blog post to demonstrate a feature, than it is to write a good-quality chapter in the user guide)? - Would managing it - starting it, chasing up content, moderating comments - be a hassle? As for where it would be hosted, we have a few choices: - https://blogs.apache.org has a straightforward process for adding project blogs[2]. Pros are that this is an official service, cons are that it's not integrated into our own site and it's not the most visually appealing. - Jekyll - which generates our website https://brooklyn.incubator.apache.org - supports blogging[3]. Pros are that it's fully integrated into our primary website, integrating into our source control (so anybody can propose a blog post by opening a PR); cons are that we'd be dependent on a service like Disqus to provide comments. jclouds operates in this way[4]. - Some other third party service Comments?
