[Python-Dev] looking for a contact at Google on the Blogger team (original) (raw)

With respect to Google Blogger, I don't see a good reason to use it as the platform for the blog. As with any infrastructure, there is a reasonably high cost in changing, as people have become used to a certain way of doing things, and porting the contents from the old system to the new one requires additional effort. Blogger has its problems, but it typically gets the job done well enough (modulo cases like the one currently affecting Doug and his team).

Has the Python insider blog really accumulated enough history and cruft to make this move problematic? It's a fairly new blog, with not much content in it. From my blogging experience, Blogger has other limitations which eventually bite you, and since it's not very flexible you can either live with it or move to a more flexible platform.

All of this completely IMHO, of course. Just friendly advice ;-) Eli
