If a curated blog is the one developers see most fit, then I am going to support it even if my initial preference was for a wiki mostly controlled by the users.

Still I think that support for exchange of packages and style files among users would be good (strong benefits could come from this). The blog can do it by publishing articles where users describe their own extensions, with a link to a repository, and organizing these articles into collections.

And advertising that it does it in a prominent place :-)

Dear all,

  I've added some guidelines for proposing content for the blog (https://texmacs.github.io/notes/index.html).

You can find them here:https://texmacs.github.io/notes/editorial-guidelines.html

I tend to think that the correct contribution system is a "curated" one for many reasons:

1) technical: the addition have to be post-processes by knowledgeable people to ensure that the HTML translation is acceptable and nice.

2) editorial: we want this place to be useful and meaningful. To me the right approach is to consider it a "publication" where there is somebody (an editor board) which cares about homogeneity and quality. So a bit of centralization. This agrees with the fact that TeXmacs itself (i.e. Joris :)) is very opinionated on design choices and aim.

3) decentralization: the fact that is a git repository means that it still remains de-centralized to a large extent: if you want you can clone the repository and publish the material in **any way** you like. Like software this material will be open source, for all to use as they see fit.


I feel that the editorial policy do not restrict your freedom as content contributor: if you have a github account is very easy to publish your own better version as "github pages".

Anyway I'm open to discuss it, my intention is that it is useful/informative/correct/pleasant to read, this should be the primary goal.

Max
