Hi,

I think both options are possible.

Some projects are using "cross reference" (for instance,
https://karaf.apache.org/documentation.html#Articles or
https://camel.apache.org/community/articles/), or directly on project
website.

Personally, I like both, with a preference for the capability to link
to "external" blog posts (we can actually do both).

Regards
JB
