Forum:SH Archive/We need a blog

You heard me.

Wookieepedia's become far more than just a fan encyclopedia. I've been toying with the idea of suggesting an official blog for awhile, and the new interviews-thing kind of cemented the need in my mind. It'd also be nice to have a avenue to disseminate general announcements and the like that isn't the top of the wiki.

I'm imagining a blog covering a variety of topics, including--


 * Wookieepedia news and announcements, obviously: FAs, Wookieepedians of the Month, new admins, new Wookieeprojects, new policy decisions and so on would fall under this category
 * General Star Wars news
 * Regular or semi-regular features, such as:
 * Top ten/twenty countdown
 * Interviews (that've been done via the VIP interviews project)
 * Overheard (amusing or relevant commentary from around the internet)
 * profiles of little-known EU contributors
 * opinion polls
 * source reviews
 * maybe opinion pieces

Some folks have already expressed interest writing for this thing, should it ever leave the ground.

I already took the liberty of opening a blog on Wordpress, but I figured I'd test the waters here in the SH before created a Wookieeproject or, if need be, consensus track.

So: chime in and let me know how y'all feel about this. -- Trip 17:00, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
