[Adium-devl] Trac complaints

[Colin Barrett]

My main problem with the current blog is that 1) it uses blogger,  
which is a pain to post from, and 2) the template kind of blows. It's  
impossible to post a comment from the permalink page, and the comment  
display looks pretty nasty too.

Plus there's the issue where if you start a post with <p>, it screws  
up the formatting.

Perhaps we could improve our current blog? I think users need a place  
for "NEWS", and they currently turn to our "blog". We probably already  
have a ton of non geeks on the blog RSS, so posting more geek-y in- 
development stuff probably wouldn't help (comments like "When is this  
going to be in my Adium?"). I was thinking for TracBlog to post stuff  
about tickets and trac related things, like which issues we're getting  
lots of dupes of and where the original ticket is, stuff like that.  
Perhaps also things for developers or others using SVN ("Hey, I just  
added $great _new_feature. Everyone go test it and see if it works  
right!"). I don't think that average users really care about that.  
Everyone who follows development does it on Trac anyone, so why not  
put the blog dedicated to development there too?

If you need help setting it up, I will be happy to assist you.
