I think so too, maybe there is no other chance then using opensourcewebconferencing.blogspot.com
for "informal" postings like the meeting minutes. @Alexei Have you the right to update the comitters.ini at planet.apache.org? Could you add: opensourcewebconferencing.blogspot.com and wagner-sebastian.com to the blog section there? Another idea I have is to have an RSS reader at our website that shows the latest postings so that we don't need to update the news section manually. Does anybody know if a potential "Apache CMS" has such feature ? I don't think that there is any consens yet about wether to use Apache CMS or not. It would be nice if there is a playground somewhere with Apache CMS and also to see how hard it is to change its layout. Thanks!
