Beloved DSA,
this ticket is meant to keep track of the status of setting up
blog.debian.org , a public-facing machine meant to host the official
blog of the Debian project.
Below you can find a summary of what I believe has been agreed upon
after discussions in the past months, up to and including DebConf11.
- The machine will be DSA-administered.
- It will run (the most recent incarnation of) Movable Type as blogging
platform.
The rationale of the choice is a compromise among the need of having
blog-friendly features (usable comments, trackbacks, etc.) and having
a platform that supports a static HTML cache of all pages.
- The blogging software itself will be administered by people of the
publicity team (still to be identified).
- In the long run, blog.d.o might be plugged into LDAP authentication
and allow all DDs to write draft blog posts that will be reviewed by
the publicity team before publishing.
I know that work has already been started on this, and I hereby thank
DSA for that.
Cheers.
