I know we discuss several times in ways to improve communication and documentation. But know I am being very precise: put a &quot;news&quot; section in the website. The website is written in Pier, so adding Blog should be really easy. Adding the Pier add on for colour highlighting would be even a dream. <br>
<br>I think having a &quot;news&quot; section with RSS is a must nowadays in every software project. The mailing list has a lot of traffic (that&#39;s really cool) but there are a lot of people who cannot track it. So, having a place to read the news would be helpful.<br>
<br>What� kind of things we can post ?� Examples:<br><br>- I will announce soon the metacello configurations for external projects and after that the configuration for pharo.<br>- ANN and news for external projects such as: Seaside, Metacello, Moose, Mars...whatever that runs on top of pharo<br>
- ANN for new dev images (after passing the beta test stage)<br>- ANN of books<br>- Now for example I can post that we have already started with the translation of PBE to spanish :)<br>- Show progress and comments about Pharo sprints and coding sessions<br>
- Big decisions taken. For example if we agree to remove PharoWeb images<br>- Success stories. Projects that goes on production or that have just started with Pharo<br>- Comment lessons, presentations or conference where someone spoke about pharo<br>
- A lot of things more.<br><br>I know the idea of the website is not to be too technical but I think these kind of stuff are not technical at all.<br><br>Then we should see how and who post. In pier I subclass Blog with a new class that requires authorization for an admin users. Then there is a little component only for admins that let you browse the posts and authorize them. If you want I can send them to you.<br>
<br>Cheers<br><br>Mariano<br><br>pd: sorry for the amount of &quot;this kind of mails&quot; that I am sending in the last weeks<br>
