Hi Gert,

great you start with this initiative!

We already have the chance for bloggers to post to a typo3 site, which 
is buzz.typo3.org, so this is nothing new. They still do it mostly on 
their own sites. Maybe it is worth investigating, why that happens. And 
also Ben is looking for planet software to aggregate external blogs to a 
central place. As he's the community manager, I guess it will be a TYPO3 
place. Maybe you could also contact Ben about it, to see how far he got, 
and if he needs some assistance.
-> http://buzz.typo3.org


Then we have a wiki already, you can add pages for brainstorming there. 
No need to make another subdomain. So you could already start over at 
that place.
-> http://wiki.typo3.org/
