blogpost (was: Re: deletion of not needed page)

Thanks Andrea,

In general both, what we have to do, as to talk to our community seems 
to be important to do.

But I am not convinced that a blogpost on gstreamer alone would be 
interesting to for the community.
I think a blogpost about the 4.2.0 beta plans would indeed be helpfull. 
We could write a little bit about what people can prepare to test for, 
and of course mention the gstreamer update that we would like to see 
tested by the community. Also some regular Format as a blog posts would 
be nice. I think Star Citizen does a real good job in community 
management. We could grab some ideas from them.

The next board report is sheduled in April. So we have to prepare a 
report anyhow soon.
How about with the board report we publish a community Report, too? - It 
will be different of course from the board report, with more focus on 
community topics.

We could always write what has happend in the Project. I think the 
different perspective could help a little the cause.
For the first Community Report we could start off with the 4.2.0 beta 
plan, and what we want to do. What we hope for and talk about some 
highlights like gstreamer.
We could also mention that work has been started on the win 64 transition.
Opinions?

In general, I would prefer smaller posts. We even had weekly news at a 
point (I think it lasted for an embarrassing low number of weeks, like 4 
weeks or so!). You can find traces in the CWiki: 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40508638

So something like a "monthly news" summarizing a month's worth of list 
traffic would work better. Of course, someone would need to volunteer 
for that...

As for the format, we have a blog here and there's not much flexibility, 
this is what we get:

Regards,
   Andrea.
