How to get content on the "In The News" section of the website?
Hi Developers and Keepers of the OFBiz website:
I'd like to add an entry in the "In The News" section of the website.
Specifically I would like to announce the availability of my OFBiz blog
at http://www.myofbiz.com. This one liner would be similar to the
tutorials being announced by HotWax.
Regards,
Ruth

Hi Tim:
Actually, I wasn't going to post each blog entry. I just wanted to
announce the availability of the blog. The blog has an RSS feed on it,
so if someone wants to keep updated, they can just use that.
I'll create a Jira issue.
Thanks
Ruth

It is rather easy to get going. We could set up blog URLs as a type of
contact mechanism and set a Role or a PartyClassification for the
parties we have approved for pulling blogs from. That's basically the
way I have OSFA set up. Is there a reason we should let people "sign up"
on the OFBiz site?
I'm also using Varnish on OSFA, which makes it largely "Slashdot-proof".

That would be nice.

It would be nice if we were doing a "planet" kind of thing and could tag
the blog entries #OFBIZ or something. Its easy to get going... some
examples:
planet.debian.org
planet.gnome.org
opensourceforamerica.org/planet

Hi Ruth,
Someone may pick it up based on this email, but the ideal way of doing
this would be to create a jira issue and either attach a patch or at
least include the html you would like added. Jira issues are easier
to track and are less likely to be lost in the noise.
On a side note, I wonder if it wouldn't be better to differentiate
between news and blog posts? Blog posts seem to be occurring more
commonly of late, which is great but I worry they may drown out actual
news stories which are a bit lower in volume.
