[webkit-dev] Updating the tradition for new reviewer blog posts

[Tony Gentilcore]

The Surfin' Safari blog seems to have fairly wide readership in the web dev
community. Google Reader reports 35k Reader subscribers. For comparison:
blog.chromium.org has 17k and blog.mozilla.com has 10k. However, the last
post with descriptive content was back on April 18th. Since that post, we've
written 8 "X is a now a WebKit reviewer" posts. One recent commenter said:

*"I don’t suppose there’s anything more interesting going on in WebKit land
worth blogging about, is there? So-and-so is a new WebKit reviewer isn’t
nearly as interesting as whatever new hotness is coming down the pipe. And I
know I’m not the only one who thinks so… Feel like blogging about WebKit
awesomeness?"*

I propose we increase the amount of blogging about WebKit awesomeness by
changing the tradition for new reviewer posts.

Instead of defaulting to:

*  So-and-so is now a WebKit reviewer*
*  Posted by Someone-else
  So-and-so has worked on awesome-feature or awesome-infrastructure...*

We encourage (or just allow?) a format more like:

*  How awesome-infrastructure works*
*  Posted by So-and-so, the latest WebKit reviewer
  Here's my description of how awesome-infrastructure works in WebKit...*
*
*
*  -OR-
*
*
**  Awesome-feature is the new hotness*
*  Posted by So-and-so, the latest WebKit reviewer
  Web developers can now use awesome-feature. Here's how it works...*

Thoughts?
