I'd rather pester you to finish work on your SEH paper and translation of
parts of your thesis.

So aggregation and a blogging platform?  The only catch here would be the
Planet software is written in Python, which our web server might not support
(looks at Aleksey, time to finally update the system?) and we would also
need to update the Serendipity software as it is out of date.

I’ve been here before, so before you go to all this trouble of controlling a
ros based blog, remember a few key points:

 

-          Will anyone actually use it? Gé and I went to a lot of trouble to
set up the blogging software ~2005, with the promise that many people wanted
to use it. Everyone got bored very quickly.

-          It must be kept up to date, it shouldn’t be forgotten about as it
is now.

-          We need to be careful of unintentional
bad/nonsense/incorrect/damaging posts, since they’re directly related to the
reactos site. The newsletters are verified by many different pairs of eyes
to ensure we don’t miss anything, ros blogs wouldn’t be.

-          It’s another security risk on top of a very busy server

 

Is it really worth the effort?

IMO it’s much safer to let anyone who wants to blog do so outside of
reactos. Maintaining a private blog is just as easy as having one on reactos
thanks to online hosting sites like blogger.com or wordpress.org/hosting.

I personally like the Idea of a Dev Blog. I wont be able to blog much 
useful right now, due to the still existing lack of Low Level Skills, 
but in the near Future I will have the possibility to talk to a full 
Auditorium about ROS. I would like to put this on a blog as example. I 
planned to open up my own one, but why not using our own?
