You might find the blogs that Mo Duffy has done for the Fedora Design
team useful for organizing thoughts on your blog:
She always does a good job of describing the problem, what's been done
so far, what's still needed, and winds up with a call to action for
how to help. They're really good and seem to be effective!

Hi!
I have a plan for the next Insight office hours. I want to work on our
Drupal 7 theme and any ideas, patches or the complete theme are
appreciated. I'm going to write a blog entry about this plan after our
meeting. Mumble and voice messaging could be good, but I don't know.
Unfortunately, I have no time for this. I would stay by writing a blog
entry or email communication now.
