Let's say the rule is as follows: anything that is a valid and
interesting blog post will be accepted.  So you just have to wrap the
information you want to give into a blogpost form.

For example, imagine that you want to announce Lily 2.17.1 release.
Instead of writing something like:

  We are proud to announce the release of GNU LilyPond 2.17.1.
  This release contains the following improvements:
   - bug 235234 was fixed,
   - feature foobar was added,
   - objects use skylines instead of boxes for calculating collisions.

whis is boring, write something like this:

  After several months of intense development, an important improvement
  is implemented in the newly released LilyPond 2.17.1: the program no
  longer treats objects as if they were rectangles, but uses skylines to
  approximate their shapes.  Thanks to this feature, things that used to look
  like this:
  <ugly image>
  now look like this:
  <nice image>
  There are several other improvements in this version - you can see
  a full list here <link>.

I think you can see the difference immediately.
So, everyone's invited - just write in a way that can be interesting
to outsiders as well as long-time users.

best,
Janek
