I'd
like to see something
like
planetkde for trinity.
that would be nice, yes :)
however, depends on:
- are there some people in the trinity
community who run an rss-enabled
blog
for pickup by a 'planet-like' feed
aggregator (e.g.
http://offog.org/code/rawdog.html)
Me? And I could write about what I'm
working on.
- if so, who could implement this on
trinity
web site ? (Calvin ?)
Why not? Or yet better, implement some really small cms for
our site.
Something that will allow us to create/change it's contents
without
actually messing with actual site code.
I don't know the technical requirements for offering an RSS feed. As a
user, I can offer that the lack of news from Trinity is unsettling. :(
We have a News section on the web site and eventually we should use that
same text for an RSS feed.
Even if the news is not yet available through RSS, outsiders should see
some sort of life at the News section of the web site. A two sentence
announcement is sufficient to show movement.
We should release SOMETHING no less than a monthly basis. Users should
know we are doing something other than cleaning the lint from our belly
buttons. :)
In all seriousness I advise everyone to clean their bellybuttons quite
often, a moist towelette or Q-tip will work wonders.
Yes, the big moment now is everybody waiting for GIT to become publicly
available and the completion of the renaming project. Thereafter a weekly
news bite announcement or two through RSS that particular noticeable bugs
have been resolved is a great way to show progress and movement.
I think that this is a good idea - but requires time. We all know Tim is
already limited for time and putting more pressure on him will likely make
him explode :P
Someone would need to update it (probably biweekly).

Ok, so there were a huge slur of messages.
For one, Let me go back to my original list.
lwn - the longest standing linux community news, an awesome website.
h-online - provides relatively unbiased news about a whole slew of open
source stuff (they even ran our release after I email them)
OSNews - this could be bumped off, its a bit general.
Why only 3? I think offering a whole lot makes sense.
Next,
planet.trinitydesktop.org would be great! I would actually start
blogging again :) It shows involvement of developers and also helps
personalize those who choose to use it.
As for the website, if we are considering dynamic content, RSS feeds,
planet.trinitydesktop.org, commenting system - maybe it is time we convert
to a CMS.
