[Sugar-devel] Weekly Progress Blogs of GSoC

[Aviral Gangwar]

Hello James,

Could you please help me out with this.

Which service do you recommend for writing the blogs that also complies
with the community standards? I wanted to run through you if it was
feasible to use a separate service such as Medium  or
use a wiki page instead. ( Or any other service you could suggest )

Thank You

Hi Aviral,
If you want, and if it is agreeable to James, you may write on
musicblocks.net, which I maintain. Just let me know, and I can give you
an account with credentials.
Best,
Devin

Hello Aviral,

I just looked at previous year projects blogs , Most of them were using
Medium and also one had used github.io. I guess any of them will work fine
and it depends on our choice.

Thanks

Medium has been pushing for a paywall lately, which means it limits what
you can see if you're not a subscribed member.

Even though there are ways to get around the paywall, I still would highly
recommend not using Medium so that it can be available to the wider
community.

Yes, GitHub pages (GitHub.io) are a nice alternative, easy to host and
needs almost no maintenance.

Feel free to suggest any more alternatives.

This evening, I explored a few CMSs and Jekyll templates to host on GitHub
pages.

I found some of them store the actual blogs in Markdown format which keeps
it quite simple, although not quite like a WYSIWYG.

G'day,

Thanks.  I've been careful not to mention blogging until now.

Please use mailing list instead of a blog.  Use a shortened project
name in the subject.  If composing mail is a problem, find a better
mail client.

Lionel and I agreed we would not require a student to host a blog.
(On 5th May, Lionel, Walter, and I had a discussion about student
blogging.  We considered whether a blog was needed or helpful.  Nobody
else at Sugar Labs blogs about their work at Sugar Labs, so we have no
standard to hold up.  Blogs haven't facilitated or concentrated
discussion.  Blogs can be edited.  Blogs don't stay available.  Blogs
are a lot of work that is sometimes not seen or used.)

Please check with your mentor if they want you to use a blog, or some
other method like Wiki or mail.  Lionel told me Sugarizer team will
use Slack for this, with a weekly summary to mailing list.

Mentors, please think about whether you want your student to spend the
time writing a blog.  Tell your student what your decision is.

While it is a useful skill, it is not a necessary skill for a
developer.  You won't get as much engagement as you will get with
mailing list posting.
