Use of Confluence blog for new features and changes.

[James Bognar <ja...@apache.org>]

Per the discussion about overuse of the Slack channel, I'm going to start
using the Confluence blog for announcing new features and changes....

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewrecentblogposts.action?key=JUNEAU

I've also added a link to the blog on the Community tab of the web page.

Questions:

Should I announce new blog entries either on this list or on the Slack
channel?

Is this blog externally accessible?  Can the public view it?  If so, should
I make the link more prominent on the webpage?

I think Confluence is open to the public and read-only for everyone, but 
you need to sign in to edit.  However, I think anyone can create an 
account on Clonfluence (linking it to JIRA is another matter).  New 
stylesheets look good.

I think new blog entries should be announced to the list, but (in my 
view) a notification could additionally go to Slack, particularly if 
discussing it would meet the "is it right for Slack" criteria.
