Thanks. I've been careful not to mention blogging until now.<br>
<br>
Please use mailing list instead of a blog. Use a shortened project<br>
name in the subject. If composing mail is a problem, find a better<br>
mail client.<br>
<br>
Lionel and I agreed we would not require a student to host a blog.<br>
(On 5th May, Lionel, Walter, and I had a discussion about student<br>
blogging. We considered whether a blog was needed or helpful. Nobody<br>
else at Sugar Labs blogs about their work at Sugar Labs, so we have no<br>
standard to hold up. Blogs haven't facilitated or concentrated<br>
discussion. Blogs can be edited. Blogs don't stay available. Blogs<br>
are a lot of work that is sometimes not seen or used.)<br>
<br>
Please check with your mentor if they want you to use a blog, or some<br>
other method like Wiki or mail. Lionel told me Sugarizer team will<br>
use Slack for this, with a weekly summary to mailing list.<br>
<br>
Mentors, please think about whether you want your student to spend the<br>
time writing a blog. Tell your student what your decision is.<br>
<br>
While it is a useful skill, it is not a necessary skill for a<br>
developer. You won't get as much engagement as you will get with<br>
mailing list posting.<br>
