Howdy,
… It is this way because we want to make sure that the blogs remain highly focused on topics related to Haiku and the project.
Mine should be pretty focused — although design doesn't happen in a vacuum.

2nd — Editing on blogger is comfier (nice UI design :-)
…Since improving the design and usability of our website better seems to be one of the purposes of your exercise, actually using the tool that you want to enhance could be a good place to start. :) 

Very good point.
3rd — I wasn't sure how appropriate it would be to essentially pick apart haiku-os.org on haiku-os.org and I was hesitant to ask. 

Please, *never* be hesitant to ask. It's like telling yourself no. :)


I do hate to be pesty though.




What do you think (especially about #3)
Criticism is OK as long as it is constructive and it is accompanied with solutions. So let me put it this way:
If your blogging is meant to be a purely theoretical dissertation, and does not provide a practical solution and (at least part of) the means to achieve a solution, then perhaps Blogger is a better place.
It is both, it's about tracking issues I see in the current design, not just for my redesign, but for the general mission of design in Haiku. -- which is pretty much what you say below.
If blogging is part of a bigger exercise to provide practical and viable solutions in the areas of design and usability for our website, then I think the Haiku Blog-O-Sphere would be a good tool for you to convey your ideas, show the progress of your project, and obtain feedback.
That is the small distinction that made me a bit uncomfortable about asking. I can't guarantee that I will be able to devote the time required to do everything I'd like to do. Ideally, I'd love to devote free time to it — but if it happens that I don't, I wouldn't want to let anyone down.
In that case, I would personally feel positive about proposing that you get blogging rights.
