+1 This could also be good to announce new versions, improvements, papers written in Sage, etc. Developers blogging about Sage could be fun: it would expose how some other parts of the Sage code works (this would also help Bus Days). For example, when I wrote QDRF, I blogged about what one would need to do in order to implement (floating-point) fields in Sage since I had learned a great deal about this part of the code. Of course, the thing with blogging is time :) . If you're blogging, you're not writing code and sometimes you just can't afford that ;). didier > at all, but I know some of you (e.g., Martin Albrecht and Ondrej Certik) > are old pros at blogging.
