Docs team blog

[Chris]

It might also be something for the news team to keep up-to-date/remind us we
should post more on it? #ubuntu-news for more info and of course
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewsTeam
I like a lot of the points you mentioned in your list. But it is indeed also
a good question to ask if maintaining another source/thing is something we
want to do.

With metta,
