[llvm-dev] Interested in writing for the LLVM blog?
Hello! I am looking for a handful of people to help write blog posts for the LLVM blog (blog.llvm.org <http://blog.llvm.org/>) or to help recruit volunteers to write blog posts. The LLVM Project blog is a great place to share details about recent changes to LLVM, Clang, and related sub-projects. It also is a great place to highlight users of LLVM. You can write about your work or the work of others that has gone into the tree recently. If you are interested in volunteering for this position OR if you are interested in writing a blog post, please send me an email. Thanks, Tanya -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/attachments/20160517/e9e03b99/attachment.html>

Thorough discussions still go on the list, but status update could go on the blog, at least one for each RC. Some people complained we don't communicate as efficiently as we should, maybe that could be an official channel to interact with our users, not just via the mailing list (which has very high volume). Just a thought... cheers, --renato

It's similar for the blog: is info about release candidates valuable for those not involved enough to read llvm-dev, or would it be perceived as noise, hiding more important contents? I'm pretty undecided...

Hi everybody, I do write some Clang/LLVM related articles on my blog[1][2], and I will be happy to write for LLVM’s blog. However, I can’t omit bike-shedding :) Forgive me my directness, but current blog doesn’t look like something close to 2016. The blog already has lots of great articles. But it’s so hard to grasp valuable information when you have to read non-highlighted C++ code. I think I managed to read this great article[3] from third or fourth attempt just because of the UI. I’d focus not on content only, but on appearance as well. I think we can agree that this is important. Tanya, I’d be more than happy to help if this is something considerable.

But it’s so hard to grasp valuable information when you have to read non-highlighted C++ code.Sorry for the bikeshedding, but the readability of the blog is also hampered considerably by re-posting all of the LLVM Weekly entries there. It’s already easy to subscribe to them at http://llvmweekly.org (which has its own RSS feed and is a great resource), but having copies of them make up 90% of the posts on blog.llvm.org makes it very difficult to find the remaining 10%. Please can we stop cross-posting LLVM Weekly to the LLVM blog instead promote links to llvmweekly.org (and, ideally, to the most recent 4-5 articles) to the front page of llvm.org and to the blogs.llvm.org?

I’m also looking into contracting a web designer to help with design of llvm website (of course working with the community but it hasn’t bubbled up to the top of my pile yet). -Tanya> > [1] http://lowlevelbits.org/categories/clang/ > [2] http://lowlevelbits.org/categories/llvm/ > [3] http://blog.llvm.org/2013/07/using-mcjit-with-kaleidoscope-tutorial.html > >> On 17 May 2016, at 23:41, Tanya Lattner via llvm-dev <llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org> wrote: >> >> Hello! >> >> I am looking for a handful of people to help write blog posts for the LLVM blog (blog.llvm.org) or to help recruit volunteers to write blog posts.
