[ANN] Please share useful blog posts on this list with the [BLOG] subject prefix

[Bastien]

Adding [BLOG] or [TIP] in the subject prefix allows for such messages
to be referenced on https://tracker.orgmode.org/news (along with [ANN]
messages). 

It will then be possible to include these posts in the orgmode.org
homepage, using e.g. https://tracker.orgmode.org/news.rss.

This is experimental, let's see if this helps spread the word about
useful blogs.

Thanks!

Great! Just one question: can articles be shared in languages other than
English? In that case, would it be necessary to add some more
prefixes, such as "Spanish", "French", "Italian", "Greek", etc.?

(If I shared something in Spanish, I could translate the article in the
body of the message).

Best regards,

Juan Manuel

In Sacha Chua's news non-English blog posts are just shared as is:
2023年のorg-mode活用と今後の抱負 - takeokunn's blog (@kaneuchi@mstdn.jp)
(from https://sachachua.com/blog/2024/01/2024-01-29-emacs-news/)

As long as the fraction of non-English posts is small, I do not think
that it matters too much. (Of course, having a translation would be
helpful, but we cannot demand such thing.)

I suggest we stick to the policy of using english as the language for
the list: sharing posts written in other languages is okay as long as
we share the summary in english in the emails. That's also better for
search the list's archive IMHO.

Yes, you can use "[BLOG] [Spanish] ..." so that people adapt their
filters, but the second prefix won't have any effect on Woof.

But because the language for discussing on this list is english, I
believe the summary should be in english - then people can use i18n
tools to get to the contents.

How does this sound?

If we want to add a hint about the blog post language, can I suggest
using the two-letter ISO-639 language codes (SP, DE, IT, EN, ...)?

I agree they don't cover all the languages but for the sake of
brevity, would that be good enough?

I am looking at https://tracker.orgmode.org/news and I feel that mixing
blog/tip entries with important announcements may not be very good idea.
May we put the blogs into a separate tab, leaving announcements stand
out?

Also, I do not see
https://list.orgmode.org/877cihmr45.fsf@posteo.net/T/#u listed.
May it be because in "[tip] Export to PDF with latexmk 'continuous
preview' option", "tip" is lowercase?

Yes, this is a possibility.

This should not be case-sensitive - I will check when I have some free
time.
