A CodeProject Blog
-
How about; How you are developing the hardware and infrastructure of the site. How you are developing the storage subsystem (database + article downloads etcs.) What current things you are working on to improve and how things are going. More STATS! how about letting us see some of the GAnalytics data? Also, when you release updates to the site, what are the changes etc. etc. When things go bad, how about a miniteardown of the occurrence and more gory details? On the GA stuff, are you using the new live stats yet (have you applied for them even) ? (How about also having a bug and suggestion tracker on the site somewhere, where we can see whats fixed, in progress etc)

That doesn't need a blog, that needs a live news feed... :laugh: :laugh:

I don't blog that much because I've been doing this so long that it seems obvious to me (and by extension, the rest of the Universe) what we do here and what's happening. However, on reflection, it seems this may be over-estimating the mind reading abilities of everyone and under-estimating the obviousness of it all. If I were to blog on a regular basis about what's going on, what things would you be most interested in reading about?

Care and maintenance of Hamsters. Progress in getting Sean to stop wearing that Mankini on visits. Answers to CCC's about a week in advance. Winning lottery numbers for next weekend. That sort of thing...

I'd love to hear about progress on the CP open "platform" web services :)

Anything you think is of value can be added. The day to day work schedule, the author interviews, some pictures of the CP and the CPian clan. Of course for a blog to be followed, it has to be constantly updated with fresh material. Are you looking for more work or are you hiring someone to handle the blog for you?

I'd be interested in knowing more about:
- What's in the works
- A "from the trenches" view of what it takes to keep CP running
- Dev stats - how the CP team works (tools, processes, behaviors)
- Interesting usage stats (stuff that doesn't make it to the home page)
- What most challenges the CP team
- Suggestions, opinions and rants you'd care to share with someone who'd like to bring a CP like offering (not related to CP's content) to life
Thanks! /ravi

You're asking for the impossible. Sean is a man not easily swayed.

I found my mankini whilst tidying up my bedroom on Saturday. Getting both testicles in one at the same time is no mean feat I can assure you.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

Did I miss some thread of some sort ?
It is a long established tradition that, should you be elivated to MVP, Sean visits lubed up in his mankini[^]. No one knows why, it's not as if he's paid to do it. :~

Hazy. Definitely hazy. Pete woke up in Brighton wearing a Sunderland shirt and a smile after his visit. :-D

But the important question, how'd JSOP take it?

I'd like to see you blog about:
- Major changes (e.g., new hires, moving to new hardware).
- Upgrade post-mortems (e.g., upgrading to SQL Server 2008, what problems you had, how you'll avoid them next time or a philosophy of why they were tolerable).
- History behind decisions (e.g., using a textarea rather than a richtext editor for forum messages, to bring about the Lounge and related areas of the site).
- Infamous days (e.g., the day you decided to implement the konami code on the reputation page).
- How you solved longstanding problems (e.g., the reputation graph periodically going missing).
- Why you are different (e.g., than Stack Overflow).
- What motivates you (e.g., to interact with members every day).
- The philosophy of your processes (e.g., how you prioritize).
- Future plans (e.g., restructuring site).
- Journeys (e.g., the evolution of Bob, Code Project over time, members who have come and stayed or gone, types of members over time).

There are a bazillion (wait... let me count... yup, a bazillion) blogs out there that pontificate about software development and web site management. Rather than dry tutorials or Why I Design Web Sites This Way And You Should Too, I would be more interested in specific anecdotes about issues here at CP, and how you addressed them. There's an interesting meta-quality to CP, since it's a web site that, among other things, helps guide others in building web sites. I'd also be interested in accounts of how you deal with the social issues of a global site. It seems you've spent a lot of effort in making the site as self-governing as possible. That's affected site design and its evolution. Finally, I'd really like to see a rationale for abandoning the HP iPaq server farm. I always thought that was a cool idea.
