[mat-dev] FW: Deprecate and terminate blogs.eclipse.org?
|
The Eclipse-hosted blogging service (where MAT's blog is) is going to be shut down as it appears (see below). I had a look at the mentioned bug and so far all votes are for removing the service.
As MAT's blog was so far used by the whole team, I wanted to collect some opinions where to move it. I personally have not much experience with other such services. In the bug the proposals are WordPress and Blogger. It should be possible to export what we have currently to XML and import it elsewhere.
Any suggestions/preferences where?
Krum
PS: I'll export the content and check it in in our repository as a first step. Just to make sure nothing gets lost.

Subject: Deprecate and terminate blogs.eclipse.org?
Dear Eclipse Blogs user,
Nearly four years ago, an Eclipse-hosted blogging service was requested
(see bug 179857) and set up. The original premise was to allow committers
to blog under the umbrella of the EPL and the Eclipse.org's site Terms
of Usage.
In reality, none of the original requesters actually use the Eclipse
blogging service. blogs.eclipse.org only has 66 blogs, while a large
number of them are several years stale.
Since blogs.eclipse.org is in dire need of an upgrade and a fresh, modern
theme, I can't help but think my time would be better spent supporting
infrastructure that committers actually use. Therefore, I am proposing
we deprecate, and ultimately delete blogs.eclipse.org.
Please do not respond to this email directly, but feel free to voice
your opinions and concerns on bug http://bugs.eclipse.org/335231
Thanks!
Denis
