Re: [IBMiOSS] Collaboration discussion

While I was typing the COMMON Connect issue came in. You, Pete, wrote

this

article: https://view.publitas.com/common/connect_june2016/page/12-13 In
it you state this:

"Content is a little sparse right now so I am going to solicit, once

again,

for links and content of any type. Almost anything is fair game! Send

the

info to me at opensource@xxxxxxxxxx and I'll get it".

Open source and community will have very limited success if it needs to

go

through a single person. Your call. I just don't see the approach

working.

Such a website will always be behind, but can be good for a digest sort of
thing. Perhaps it would be better to have something like a "weekly news"
blog. These are very popular in open source:

Linux Weekly News: http://lwn.net/
Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue470
What's cooking in git.git:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/297497
Perl Weekly: http://perlweekly.com/archive/256.html
Python Weekly:
http://us2.campaign-archive.com/?u=e2e180baf855ac797ef407fc7&id=600d887f08
Ruby Weekly: http://rubyweekly.com/issues/302
This Week in Rust:
https://this-week-in-rust.org/blog/2016/06/20/this-week-in-rust-135/


Rust does all their weekly news through GitHub and pull-requests, would
prevent the single person gatekeeper.
