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 <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewsTeam">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewsTeam</a><div>
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.</div><div><br></div><div>With metta,</div><div><br></div>

</div><div><br>I only see it as duplicating things with stuff like meeting minutes, but I think that's a pretty trivial thing to post in more than one place. And having meeting minutes on a blog provides access to that info to people who otherwise wouldn't have any idea what is going on with docs.<br>
<br>I wouldn't want to have docs-team discussions on the blog like the ones that we have on the mailing list, but in some cases, a conversation on our mailing list might prompt us to write a blog post if awareness or input from the broader community could be helpful, though. <br>

I think the emphasis would have to be contributing to the efforts and not just moving it from one medium to another (or just simply duplicates efforts) I think it would be useful for the team and the public.<br>
<br></blockquote></div><div><br>Thanks for your input, Jared. <br><br>One thing to keep in mind is team bandwidth. Our primary goal is to produce user help, but this may be something where we have to expend some effort at the outset so that increase our team bandwith in the long-run.<br>
<br>I know that this is also an issue of creating additional stuff for the team to maintain. What do others think about this? Do you think the long-term benefits would be worth the effort and maintenance required?<br><br>
