Starting a blog
Now that our source has been published, we should write about why we created this plugin in the first place.
Actually, starting a blog is a bit out of the scope for this book, but if you're new to this process I would recommend GitHub Pages (http://pages.github.com), WordPress (http://wordpress.com), or Blogger (http://www.blogger.com).
Whether the goal was to solve a particular problem at work, fulfill some edge case we identified, or just scratch an itch, providing a bit of extra information about our motivation may help to encourage some users to take our plugin for a spin.
Once we begin to revise our plugin and add new features, the blog can also be used to announce new versions and include change log information.
A link to the blog can also be included within our plugin's initialization section as the author_url
value (see Chapter 1, Introduction to Redmine Plugins for more information).
