[OOTB-infra] blog aggregator

[Oksana Kurysheva]

Heiko, why do you like Redmine so much? :) It will be again our internal application. But we need a nice design/interface for external users (not members of the Order). I like JSON on the website because it doesn't require additional tools. But this time I agree, that we need more than JSON. 

Martin, 
Sounds good. I have never thought about it. If the platform supports links to external posts, gives us the ability to like/share them, and provides tags for search, then I like it. 
We use Tumblr in the company, it is free and really nice (blog.itdhq.com). I like that I can configure template, so design can be the same as on the primary website. And I like that people can post in one blog from different accounts (like on Github). So I suggest to use it. I have never used blogger, and I used only default Wordpress template, so I don't know how to configure them. But if you think that these solutions suit us better, let's create an account and subdomain for this purpose. 

offtopic: one more social network to administer and update... %)

So are we looking for a complete blog platform? So we can post full posts for ourselves and then add a short abstract and link to blogs which are posted elsewhere? 

There is obviously Drupal+CMIS if we wanted to host the posts in alfresco, but this needs a few things to happen first 

Perhaps we can just use a blogging platform for this? There are plenty of free ones, e.g. blogger.com, wordpress, etc

Dear members of the INFRA committee. 

I want to ask you to think about the blog agregator to use on our website. We want to solve following tasks: 
- posting our news as Order of the Bee. For example we can already create a post about Summit and include links to Summit Summary from blogs of our members. We can use some external blog to this task or just create plain HTML page for each news, that is not very good. 
- creation of the archive of the best and actual tutorials and blog posts. We have it already at http://orderofthebee.org/archive/ && https://github.com/OrderOfTheBee/OrderOfTheBee.github.io/blob/master/assets/data/posts.json , but I'm not sure that it's a good idea to store such entries in JSON. It would be nice to give at least 5-10 members access to add new posts to our Archive. 

Your ideas? 

Regards, 
Oksana
