Guidelines for/thoughts about this page
What links do we provide?
This page should link to any external resource that is useful to the general Phoenix community.
See the
Croquet Project
for an example of a links page with blog references.
What is a Blog?
From Wikipedia:
A weblog, web log or simply a blog, is a web application that contains periodic posts on a common webpage. These posts are often but not necessarily in reverse chronological order. Such a website is typically accessible to any Internet user…
Blogs run from individual diaries to arms of political campaigns, media programs and corporations, and from one occasional author to having large communities of writers. Some are maintained by single authors, while others have multiple authors. Many weblogs enable visitors to leave public comments, which can lead to a community of readers centered around the blog; others are non-interactive.
What are Phoenix Project Blogs?
Phoenix Project blogs are simply a means for interested people to write about the Phoenix Project. They allow communication that is less formal than typical project communications like the forums.
Grouping blogs with links implies the following:
- The authors are members of the Phoenix community and use their blogs to write about topics relevant to the community.
- The authors control the content, tools. formats, and hosting of their blogs.
Blog Technology
This is only an issue if blogs are brought into the Phoenix web site, rather than being handled as external resources.
A blog can be built with a variety of tools. It is sometimes incorporated into a collaborative development environment (like SourceForge) or a wiki (see Phoenix Wiki), though often with the entire community able to make entries.
An interesting blogging tool is WordPress.
