Raku
Open a blog
There's no "official" way of communicating news about Raku. A blog for posting a "hello world" on the new language, how the transition process is doing, new releases, workshops and so on would probably be a good idea. It could be hosted at raku.org/blog (as suggested by @AlexDaniel ) or anywhere else.
Just for the record, there were several channels proposed/used in the past:
- For important alerts: https://twitter.com/p6lert and http://alerts.perl6.org/ (currently down)
- Perl 6 News Feed https://twitter.com/perl6org
- There's also a weekly, which is different, but it's one of the channels: https://p6weekly.wordpress.com/
- … probably more which I can't remember from the top of my head
I think it would be nice to have a blog on https://raku.org/blog
Would renaming those channels merit a different issue? Or should we do it in this one too?
Regarding the blog: Should we use an blog located on one of the blogging platforms and just embed or redirect it? Or is the idea of having a blog written in raku or perl and run on the hosting server?
@rba we've been using wordpress for advent posts and the experience is terrible. People end up writing the posts in markdown and then using a script that converts that into something that somewhat works with wordpress. Personally I'd prefer a raku solution even if it is minimalistic and limited.
Using Wordpress is certainly not a bad idea. Since this is not going to be a "code" blog, but more an announcement blog, I wouldn't object to using WordPress. It's got all the social goodies, and statistics to boot. The only problem I see with that is that free sites do not have a lot of choice in the way of branding...

@JJ what about something markdown-based? Like github io pages or something like that?
Jekyll and Hugo fall within that category, and they're certainly easy to handle. But we have the same theme branding problem, we'll need to open another organization, and we will still have nothing in the way of statistics or comments.
Keep me in the loop anyway as I like to create a blog à la https://log.perl.org/ for the infra stuff.
How about porting Giblog to Raku?
Giblog is HTML builder to admin your web site by Git.
This module is not big. You read it easy.
and you can host Raku blog by Raku module on Github pages.
