I'm wondering... I have a question for all of you (not TT members), if there would be a development blog, what would you like to read there except of announcements of new releases? What would you find interesting and making the dev blog worth following?

information on current tasks like each month, future update plans, if there's nothing to post a brief description of ideas and encountered problems witha screen or two. Also I didn't notice the facebook profile as I was sure it was not for the refreshed Gold Edition (by just looking at the miniature). Also it doesnt show up as suggestion when searched on fb for me, which is weird i guess?

A dev blog would be a cool idea, you could put there what you implemented and how.

There's a development blog for Dwarf Fortress, people can follow features implemented and changed so far, but also problems the developer came across.

Yeah, many things we tried to do were supposed to be cool... I would like to see a dev blog for Colobot too, however I'm afraid it might be dead before it even begins.

I have an idea. Give every TerranovaTeam member a permission to add blog posts on the main page (if someone doesn't have them already) and let's just let the developers write anything they want once in a while. This way we won't have to create a new website just for a blog and also we will see if the idea would take off.

And I still can't stand that there is no comment section under news! Am I seriously the only one who hates that?

» tomaszkax86:
If you give me permission to add blog posts, I can write about what I'm doing and what needs to be done. Just... not right now cause I'm somewhat busy.

Oh, and to encourage more people to this initiative -- I think it's ok to not care about the chosen language in this kind of posts, so feel free to write in Polish if you want and don't worry about translations.

I'm fine with English

» Simbax:
@tomaszkax86 I'm fine too, but I'm pretty sure that some of us would be more comfortable if they could write in Polish. If they don't feel like they want to expose their "bad English" on the main page, then why not let them just write in Polish. These posts will be a little personal any way, everyone has got his own writing style.

We'll surely need to add an information about who posted each post and add some tags for that, to distinguish between developer's posts and official announcements.

• Development blog seems to be something that some people would like to see (I encourage to state your own opinion here).
  
• We should test if this idea would work. I propose using our main page. Give every member of TerranovaTeam the permission to post and then we (TT) shall write whatever, however, whenever we want (of course connected with the Colobot franchise). Good idea or not?
  
• The dev blog would be in real many dev blogs connected by one project. No redaction, no translations (unless someone wants to), no force, no cohesion. If developer wants to write about something, he just writes it and publish it. It doesn't have to be in English.
  
• There should be a separate tags/categories for official news and blog posts and the author's name should be listed below the post's content along with the date of publication and so on.

• Use Disqus. I'm personally not keen on it, because it's hosted on an external service.
  
• Use Wordpress comment system, anonymous comments - anybody can add a comment without needing an account. This may cause some issues with spam.
  
• Use Wordpress comment system, use forum accounts for authorization. This option requires most work to implement, but should prevent any spam (our current forum security is good enough that we are not getting any)
  
• Use the forum - every blog post gets it's own forum thread, possibly displayed below the post. If we want it to be automated, this will probably a bit more work than the option above. This is a bit of an overkill for the amount of activity we'll probably be getting though.

In case of the main page the changes made were not that huge, but nonetheless I asked someone to approve them. How can one even compare those situations.

Is that a fact? I remember that we used to discuss some important things on Trello back in the day... Guess every decision we made there should be reverted - after all, it's just a tool that have never exited the testing phase. Interesting.
