Hi everyone,
what's your opinion on adding a news section to our website? It's no
secret that there are concerns regarding the liveliness of our
project. I guess this is mainly because our long release cycles and
lack of PR work. Do we generate enough news to post an item maybe once
a week?
Some recent candidates:
* Editor usage survey
* Creation of the contributions area
* Firedocs integration
WDYT?
If this idea meets sufficient interest:
From a technical point of view, I'd suggest to setup a blog somewhere
and syndicate it on the client via xhrGet, so that we don't have to
run the tedious website update after each post. We'd probably have to
check with the infrastructure team if this is OK.

I think that adding a news section to the site would be great. Even more
so if we can syndicate it in from somewhere. Wait, ASF has Roller
deployed for projects. Maybe we should take advantage of that? If we
just use Roller or syndicate it in, either way would work for me. Plus
from the infrastructure point of view, at that point it's all ASF.

heuu... ?? There is a blog module in the Lenya contribution branch, no ??
It seem me to know that this module is not really stable (but maybe enough
?), but I think that use a Lenya's module blog for Lenya's news will be
more "marketing aware" than use another cms to talk about Lenya cms.
Just my little opinion...

Yeah, but the blogging module does not work all that well. I consider
blogs, wikis, and the 3 types of CMSs to be different enough that you
use the right one for the job, even if you already have one of them. If
we are going to blog about our product, it makes sense to use what our
infrastructure provides, which is Roller. Plus if we did it in Lenya, we
would have to go through the full update process due to the fact our
official site is a static site that sits in svn. It does look like it
would only be the PMC that would be able to update the blog, but it
would be less work than having to do the export out of zones.
OpenEJB has a news section on their site that pulls from their project
blog on Roller. They are using Confluence, but there is a precident of
pulling in "outside" content for a news section. http://openejb.apache.org/
