The word is misleading.
Ah, that wasn't clear to me either. Maybe "blog" should then be renamed somehow? Like if it would be developer only "Developer Insights" or something similar?
When I saw "blog" I was reminded of your blog when you were employed at Haiku Inc. It had many progress reports and technical details for other developers (e.g.: how BFS handles some things internally and what is good/bad about it). Since those so-called blogs should also replace our newsletters I wouldn't call them only development-related. Maybe just "Articles"?
I just don't like the idea of having to maintain a special branch for the blog module. We'd also have to modify some other tools like the "recent blogs" block on the right just to rename "blog"...
