Well, I must say that I am overwhelmed at the interest expressed by this poll. It seems like we have a nice handful of people who are truly interested in seeing more information sharing surrounding the Cube Engines. You all know my take on what needs doing around here from my first post, but now I turn the question to the community: What kind of information do you want to see published here?
I am tempted to post tutorials and information snippets along with the general community development news, but feel that this may very well duplicate efforts on documentation or wiki's - we haven't had alot of luck teaching people the Cube way of thinking in the past and a major barrier to some people is the lack of documentation. I maintain my efforts to keep this community collaborating by a thread at best, we're an ad-hoc bunch of rogues who seem to have all ended up here. Comments, suggestions, ideas? Y'know the drill.

Good to see the dev blog still up and running :).
I think using this blog as as a hub for development news is a very good idea, having to go to multiple sites, and actively scrounge for information every few days is a tad discouraging... Many people are under the influence that the engine's development is stalled, and being able to show them progress in an accessible manner will help dispel that belief.
Using the blog as the main resource for dev news is a really good idea. I have just gotten interested in the Cube Project and i am thinking about contrubuting, when i get the time. It would be nice to see frequent dev. news on this blog. It would make it easier for me to get all the latest info in one place than to go to many places to get it, it saves me important time that i dont often get. Also when you show frequent progress it makes people who want to help more interested in helping.
P.S. I love the cube project, keep up the good work.
Tutorials are always good. They often help out official documentation by providing a different perspective or an action-focused introduction to things (whereas documentation wiki's tend to be feature-focused). Don't be afraid to post them.
Also there is a big weakness in the Sauer/Cube community - the official Sauer forums are awful. They are just too basic to support a larger, active community. Threads fall off the first page quickly, there's no attachments, there's no separation of threads, it's all a bit messy. Don't be afraid to offer a separate forum system for Blood Frontier and Eisenstern - perhaps even on Quadropolis (where the tutorials might also be well placed).

A development blog is a brilliant idea, i was drawn to your blog specifically as i wanted to learn more abotut the cube engine and the word 'development' appearing in the search drove my choice. A development blog gives readers the chance to understand and comment on the stages of application development, and also gives you the opportunity to take up requests/understand what users require from a community of readers. Well done on the blog, i love it!
