It is sad that it has the usual misinformation:

pick a
recent blog post from the OpenOffice blog, the one about release

is definitely less interesting than other recent ones...
You should find the email of the publication's news editor and write a
polite yet firm complaint
Or just post a comment. Andre, did you try doing so? Maybe they will
rectify some clear factual errors in the article. I strongly recommend
that
you post your comments there and not only here on the list.
So the best strategy is to ignore the the FUD and push accurate and
useful information onto our website. That approach reaches more
users, and is under our control.
+1. Talking about sites like El Reg means promoting them, and
promotion
means more weight on search engines for those lies
+1, yes, it's untrue and insulting but our actions DO speak louder than
these words.
Note that the highly visible site is http://www.openoffice.org and not
the blog; the site is linked to the blog only through a link that is
at the
bottom of the page and, moreover, is hidden under a JavaScript layer.
So something that we should do immediately is to create a simple block
with the titles of our latest three blog posts (from the official
blog) and
put it on the homepage. And keep it updated manually, at least when
it's
worth doing so.
A good idea! I too feel the blogs are a bit too submerged. Let's see
what
we can come up with for this.
How about adding it to the top-nav, where we currently have:
Product
Download
Support
Extend
Develop
Focus Areas
Native Language
Put a new entry there for "News" or "Blog" and have that link to the
blog.
I went ahead and did this. Easily reversible if we don't like it.

Great, thanks. Looks like at least something good came from this article.
Well...I would have preferred calling it something else besides "News"
because now I think it's confused/associated with the left "News" items.
When Andrea brought this up, I guess I was thinking he wanted actual Blog
headlines listed/highlighted, but maybe the top nav bar is good if we come
up with something a bit more "catchy". But...I got nothin. :/
Can we have both? Some longer living, semi-'official' news and a more
frequently changing list of recent blog posts. I find both important
and interesting. And having blog posts listed on the main page may be
an incentive to more people writing new posts.
-Andre
Putting it in the nav will give it visibility on most website (non-wiki)
pages.
-Rob
That will give more visibility to the blog articles, for both users and
journalists. Both categories are important. And some journalists will
hopefully share my (personal, but probably not so personal) taste on
which
are the posts to be featured!
Regards,
Andrea.
