Setting up a blog would be easy, the question is just if it will
improve things or make the community more scattered. I do agree that
sometimes it would be good to be able to filter out all "My system
doesn't work" posts and just see the various announcement threads from
Logitech, third party developers and from the hardware and DIY forum.
If there are more people feeling this is a good idea, we could probably
create something together where multiple experienced community members
helps to post news and articles. Anyone interested in contributing ?
I personally think that something that's very important to make this
work is to do it as a community and not base it on that a single
individual should do all the work. Still, I'm a little bit skeptical
regarding activities which draws people away from this forum as the
strength of this forum really is all the experienced people hanging
around and helping other users.

Actually there is, FredFredrickson did exactly this some time ago:
http://sb.cnhpa.com/
The problem is just that it won't work when one person do it because
then the news are written with the perspective of a single person
instead of the community as a whole.
Logitech can't do it because except from the few Logitech developers
still here, Logitech have lost all interest in this community, the main
reason this forum and wiki still exists is because of the Logitech
developers hanging around.

Re: [slim] How to stay in touch with SB dev/evolutions ?
It would be nice with a "community news site". Perhaps the easiest way would be to 'set up a wiki page' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php?title=Squeezebox_News)? That would probably maximize the number of contributors, without spreading the community effort over more different web sites than necessary. Linking to existing wiki articles will be a breeze. If people think this is a good way of doing it, the news related pages will get 'their own category' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php?title=Category:News) too. -- Soulkeeper -that is not dead which can eternal lie. and with strange aeons even death may die.- touch (sans caps) + duet + boom + radio (portable) / dd-wrt on linksys wrt160n / sbs 7.6.1 on w7(x86) with avira free Soulkeeper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35297 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89897 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
