A few days ago, Nino Novak asked "is there a documentation blog?" and I
answered, "Not that I know of, but perhaps we should start one if there
isn't one already. I can easily set one up on blogspot or similar and
have it added to the LO planet. What do the rest of you think?"
The silence may answer that question, but just in case you missed it in
a thread on another topic, I'm asking it again.
Some things we could do with a blog:
1) Announce publication of chapters, books, other documents.
2) Announce what we're working on, and ask for more people to join in.
3) Remind people of things we'd like to do, and ask for people to
contribute.
4) Describe ideas for new docs or improvements to old ones, asking for
comments.
5) No doubt others: add your ideas.
I do not see a blog as a substitute for what we do on this list, or as a
place to discuss everyday working details. I see it as more of a place
for announcements, but with a way for others to comment. With the social
networking buttons available, it would provide an easy way for people to
pass on info to their networks: in other words, publicity for us and the
docs we produce.
Comments?
