Bloggers Wanted
Hello All -
On the road up to 1.0 there is one thing, that we've been lacking in,
that we need more of: Lots of jQuery bloggers!
With my commitment to squishing bugs in the jQuery core, adding new
features, writing documentation - I just don't have time to keep the
blog updated with all the hot new projects that are coming out.
So, here is what I'd like: I'd like to turn the jQuery blog into a
group blog, discussing jQuery, Javascript, jQuery
Plugins/Projects/Apps, AJAX - anything that relates back to jQuery or
Javascript. The blog currently has around 800-900 readers - which is
decent, considering that I haven't put much time into it (It's also
ranked in the top 6000 on Technorati).
I see this as being a great opportunity for different members of the
diverse jQuery audience to really come together - especially for those
who don't feel confident committing code changes.
Here are some of the ideas that I've come up with, for blogging "positions":
- jQuery on the Web (find people writing and building with jQuery,
and talk about it)
- jQuery on the List (collect and talk about all the projects and
news that take place on the mailing list)
- Weekly List Recap (Recap the important events/discussions of the
mailing list every week)
- jQuery News (Project Announcements, bug fixes, etc - this will
probably be done by me)
- jQuery Hacks (Cool things that you can do with jQuery - compare
with other libraries)
- Javascript News (Report on new techniques, libraries, hacks - whatever)
- jQuery International (The jQuery user base is all over the globe -
having articles/sections in other languages would be fantastic!)
If we can get even half of this up and running, we will definitely
become a top blog for Javascript news - which would be good in so many
ways.
If this project interests you, please reply to this post, or email me
personally. I'd also like to see a sample of your code and/or writing
(if I haven't seen it already). If you have any ideas, feel free to
bring them up, I'm all ears!
