Just constructive feedback:

What is the difference between "Newsletter" and "Developer blog"? My
intention is to unify both into some kind of "article" which is
similar to a blog, but more professional and only Haiku-related.

The Development Blogs are like "online diaries" where the devs can post development stuff/rants/experiences at any time; it is more of a personal thing, and it is very dynamic. We could well also call this section "Devs Blogsphere" or "Devs Planet" (which is very much in vogue these days).


The newsletter is a less dynamic media that would be published periodically (on the web to start, potentially in print in the future) with mostly Haiku related articles contributed that can be technical or otherwise in nature. Think of it more like a magazine.

An additional, and important, comment.

I want to the marketing content to be formal, so while I don't have a problem using a blog system to enter the news into the news section, and the articles into the newsletter section, I do not want it to look like a blog (no links to XXX's articles, comments, etc.).
