I’m creating this thread to see if the community is interested in creating a “News” or “Community News” category/section on this forum. Many community members generate content and news about the Open edX world (i.e. the Open edX [blog](https://open.edx.org/category/blog/), OpenCraft [blog](https://opencraft.com/blog/) and newsletter, etc.). I’m proposing that we create a section on this forum where all providers and community members can post their latest news. What do you think? _Poll ([view on site](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/poll-can-we-create-a-community-news-category/5614/1))_ Perhaps we can replace the existing “Blog” category with “Community News”, and the Open edX Blog would then become one of many news sources? ---

Thanks @nedbat and everyone else who voted. Would it be possible to create the new category? I’d suggest to have it nested under “Community”. Also, I’m happy to volunteer as a moderator for this category if needed. Happy to help, and let me know! ---

Look: A [Community - News](https://discuss.openedx.org/c/community/community-news/35) category! I didn’t create the “about topic” for it. @gabrieldamours can do it 🙂 ---

@nedbat will you give me permission to actually edit your post for the About topic, or do you want me to send you a description over Slack (might be easier)? Up to you. ---

I’ve made you the owner of that post. Some day I will understand how to administer Discourse properly 🙂
