Action items

• Set up WordPress weblog. (MartinSeibert)
  • Koen Martens: lets NOT use wordpress please, instead lets consider MichaelDaum's blog application
  • we got alot of positive feedback from using our own platform for Bugs and blog - not using it may not be the message we want to send. On the other hand - I switched to WP on my 'work' blog to learn an outside tool..
• Create WordPress-Users for everybody who wants to blog for NextWiki.
• Insert the page, that MartinSeibert uses for his company newsletter. See here. (MartinSeibert)
• Write the first blog entry as a start for our weblog (MichaelCorbett)
• Collect ideas for blog entries on the wiki and create a page for that. (MichaelCorbett)
• We need a volunteer to do the WordPress-Design and the Coding. (Anybody interested?)
  • I made a WP theme that uses the same MT html as the MTSkin - the precursor of the WidgetSKin - the same should be doable with whatever skin we use on twiki - SvenDowideit
• Import the content of this page here: http://www.twikifork.org/Community/CreateWeblogAndNewsletter (MichaelCorbett)
• I can host the blog/blogs on my server (a DH server, you'll need to manage the DNS forwarding, though), whatever option is chosen (MichaelDaum Blog app, WP, whatever). I actually have a working installation of MT 4.0, if you're interested, which I can expand adding a new blog (the skinning is hellish, though).-- RafaelAlvarez - 05 Nov 2008 - 17:22
