A year?? I don't understand this reserve. This is not a financial contract, paid research or something like that. What are you afraid of? That the blog will die and make LilyPond project look silly? That's a valid concern but the precautions you mention seem exaggerated to me. > There has been far too much futzing around with setup questions. > The fundamental problem is a social one (will people contribute to > it), not a technical one. Agreed. However, i think that it would make sense to use some reasonable means to increase it's chances of success. In this case reasonable means could be connecting the blog with the LilyPond website (i.e. put a "blog" entry in lilypond.org menu bar, regardless of whether that would point to lilypond.org/blog, blog.lilypond.org, blog.openlilylib.org or whatever). I already have a dozen sketches for posts, so i can promise at least one post per week till the end of summer. I hope that more people will join by then; we have a dozen active contibutors so if people write one post each month (or two) it should amount to a fairly active blog. best wishes, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
