Hi Devs, I've been missing the weekly updates that Clint Ecker was doing and so I thought I'd write in to pitch an idea and offer some help if I could. I'd say a good goal to keep these going would be to not rely in a single person as much. If we can come up with a weekly format that is not very time consuming, some tools to generate parts of it, and maybe a mailing list for people to push ideas to, anyone could gather up the pieces and push a weekly update out.
I really like Symfony's weekly updates and they seem a bit easier and less time consuming to put together, while still providing enough linkage and updates for people. Here's an example: http://www.symfony-project.org/blog/2007/11/11/a-week-of-symfony-45-5-11-november-2007 The basic format, adapted to Django, could be: - Dev mailing list summary. Mostly just links to the thread. - Trac changeset summary with links. (A trac report) - Dev digest. This looks like some sort of Trac script to show how many changes, new tickets, closed tickets, etc. I'm not great at Trac I'd need help figuring out how to generate this info easily. - Documentation updates or book changes. - Important wiki updates - New Django sites - New Django blog posts out on the internets - I'd also like to see updates or notices on software related to Django. Not exactly plugins as Symfony has a section for, but the various google code projects, etc. Thoughts? Is the mailing list idea for notices/updates possible? I'd be willing to kick this off and post to said mailing list for weeks I can't compile an update. In the weekly summaries we can publish the mailing list so people know where to send update notices. Personally, I think it's important to do summary updates, especially as we're pushing towards a major release.
