When I said blog about it I meant write a blog saying "Hey everyone, here's
this cool software. It does X, Y, and Z, you should use it because it will
do A, B, and C. We have plans to also make it do D, E, and F. If you'd like
to help, come join the effort in #foo irc channel and blah mailing list.
Check out the code here at githubblah and build it by doing foobar." You
would be amazed how something like this can generate interest in your
project. And without it, not many people will.
BR,
Jeremy

As you said, we first need to get contributors before getting to
the "incubator" step.<br>
<br>
What does it mean "blog about it"? What is the content of such
blog? For now we use only use the github tracker. Maybe you have
some examples? <br>
<br>
I must say that blogging is not <i>a priori</i> my thing because
I cannot understand why people would read it. But I may (and it
seems) that I'm mistaking.<br>

<div>Welcome to the community. As pointed out on the forum
there, we have an incubator that can help get your project and
your contributors integrated into the community. If you want
to first get more developers helping with the code itself,
posting to this list was a good first step. Another good idea
to help generate interest in the project is to blog about it.
If you like we can add your blog to <a href="http://planet.kde.org" \
target="_blank">planet.kde.org</a> so it will get more viewers also. Let us know \
what you are interested in and we can probably make something work. Again \
welcome.</div> <div><br>

</span>... that describes most KDE applications these days,
actually. So you're in<br>
the "right" place :)<br>
<br>
(and people still wonder why we needed to make the
separation between KDE-the-<br>
