[Cassidy James <cassidy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We work on longer features (like
http://elementaryos.org/journal/meet-gala-window-manager) which take some
time to collaborate and organize with developers, writer(s), screencasters,
etc. Like our software, we want our site content to be top-notch rather
than rushed and lower quality.

The other thing is that there's not a whole lot of legitimately news-worthy
stuff going on right now, it's all about polish and getting the release
ready. While little rumors and updates about individual icons keep people
interested, we don't see it fit to post about them on our official site.
When something news-worthy comes along (like Gala), we write it up and plan
its publication.

If people are interested in helping us out with articles, they can always
email press@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and coordinate something there. But more often
than not, there's no new content because there's no big news.

Regards,
Cassidy James
