Hi all,

Hi again,


I understand your concerns in regard to the blog post. I can't be proactive to the point that I can understand what you guys are saying about technical questions about ToriOS. I understand your point but this is as far as I can go: Write stuff that I know what I'm talking about. If there's someone available to write daily/weekly/monthly reports in a matter that I can understand, then I can transform that into a nice and neat blog post. Since Jack already proposed himself has Editor, than I'll send him my post suggestions to confirm everything is all right and ready to be published.

None of us is supposed to publish any 'deep' technical information :D
Those who would like to know more about the technical side of ToriOS, they should sign up to the mailing list or just read the public archive. We should and must KISS always and by KISS, I mean Keep It Simple and Short. In fact, this is all about our project :) ToriOS itself was born from the KISS Logic :D

That said, don't worry, you don't need to explain any deep technical stuff. This is actually the task of our Docs and Wiki group. I'll send another email in this regard ;)


Thanks for considering my proposal,
Gustavo

I'm the one who should thank you so thanks a lot and of course, our eagle eye (AKA Jack T) is going to be a great help, I'm sure :D

Now, would you like to send me a text and I just upload it to WordPress where our News Section is hosted? or you guys have experience with WordPress and know how to deal with it?

Please let me know :)


Thank you!

    permits
    to check over proposed editorials.
