As some of you might know, Simo has put ReviewJolla on ice and many other blogs are pretty passive (no offence).

So, my idea is to make a blog with several members of the community making and moderating it. That way it could have more regular content than blogs ran by one person.

So, who's with me?

(you can also contact me via email, adress can be found from my GitHub profile)

Okay, I made a GitHub organizationfor us, come and join in on the fun! Also, the site's address is cool: https://jollacommunity.github.io/blog We will use Jekyll :)

Current status
The name shall be "Jolla Community Blog" and we shall use GitHub pages&Jekyll. Unfortunately I can't set up Jekyll right now as Ubuntu 15.10 upgrade killed my Linux laptop. If someone else can,email me and/or create a pull request @ GitHub.
edit
I added some Slush news for fun.

@malibu1106 Well, I can try to keep readers up with the updates, because I read the changelogs anyway. I could also write about my (slow) learning of app development.

I'd love to read about app development. The really isn't much about development. Tutorials are missing. :/

ive occasionally posted stuff to my own blog i set up for sailfish type stuff, i would be open to contirbuting to a 'community blog'

@utkarsh Great! I am not good enough to give tutorials, but I can tell about some mistakes that are easy to make (I have done a lot of those) and also about what's happening at the dev mailing list.
@r0kk3rz You can join as a writer/poster, there's a lot of room onboard!

I think we will need a poll to decide which platform to use soon enough ;)

@jollailija I'd like that too. Any kind of development blog, I'd really love to follow. I'm not a good programmer and I'd love any help i can get.

I can add the madman perspective. The engine doesn't run without a ghost in it. You are all crazy. Even more so than I am. Enough reason to follow and observe.

This is a great idea, but why are the "old" blogs dead or passive now? JollaSuomi dead, Mobiili.fi and SuomiMobiili not writing so much about Jolla anymore, etc. Jolla not supporting them? Official Blog took their readers? Is The Official Jolla Blog the only truly active jollablog today???

kt ( 2015-11-08 08:25:51 +0300 )edit

@kt Well, most of them only have one or two writers, they might be busy with other stuff or simply have lost interest.

jollailija ( 2015-11-08 10:59:27 +0300 )edit

There was a poll out on twitter the other day... If jollasoumi should become active again or not. ...an overwhelming majority chose the active alternative.

JollaSuomi is alive: http://jollasuomi.fi/jolla-mukana-slush-2015-tapahtumassa/

kt ( 2015-11-10 17:01:17 +0300 )edit

It's a good idea but it's kind of hard to do. I have a Chinese site here: jolla.comes.today but basically translation. In my opinion it's kind of difficult & exhausted to get news about Jolla (too little), and writing a whole article will be more tired.

I suggest Github pages, it's free and performant; also Jekyll is really flexible and easy, for blogs too.

tokaru ( 2015-11-07 21:15:20 +0300 )edit

@tokaru Actually that would be perfect! Anyone could leave pull requests and moderators could accept them. Edit: added the 2 to the poll.

jollailija ( 2015-11-07 21:16:28 +0300 )edit

I am starting to regret selecting strawpoll, you can't edit existing polls :( Edit: Switched to another poll system :)

jollailija ( 2015-11-07 21:28:52 +0300 )edit

Actually, gh-pages comes with Jekyll out-of-the-box. One does not have to use it, but I'd highly recommend it, it's awesome.

tokaru ( 2015-11-07 21:44:09 +0300 )edit

I'll have to take a further look at Jekyll, but it does seem great. @tokaru I hope your github username is tokaru, I just invited you :)

alternatively, we could make better use of the Devaamo.fi blog aggregator: http://planet.devaamo.fi/sailfish/ for any new sailfishos blogs, although i think this is more app and development related.

@tbr can add additional blogs

yes, I'm open to add more blogs to that, as long as they cover mainly development. Personally I've been quite long already inactive, but react when poked.
