Hi,

it would be great if we could run personal or project blogs using fogbugz. As far as fogbugz already is more than just issue system or bug tracker, it is a Knowledge system. We can use fogbugz wiki to run blogs, but it's not convenient. And we can use other blog system, but we want all information related to our projects resides in one system - in fogbugz.

Will it be implemented?

Hi,

Sorry to say that this is not on the cards. The wiki editor is vastly improved and we've got much more functionality (like comment blocks), in FogBugz 8. But it's not intended for blogging. For our own blogging needs, we use WordPress.

1. Sadly to hear. Does it mean, that you've discussed this question and clearly said "No, we don't need blogging feature in FogBugz"? Or you haven't discussed it yet? Do we have a chance to see blogging in FogBugz? What's the probability? :) – Dmitry Lobanov Aug 26 2010 at 19:31
2. Concerning your WordPress experience. Are your blogs somehow relate to cases in your FogBugz instance and visa versa? Can you propose a workaround where to store personal thoughts concerning our projects, realisation caveats, some discoveries e.t.c.? Separate blog would be vastly separated from project's main knowledge system and that's not good. – Dmitry Lobanov Aug 26 2010 at 19:31
Perhaps the best bet is to create the needed glue between FB and WP so that things can flow smoothly between them. There probably isn't too much needed to have a WP plugin that recognizes FB artifacts and links to them, and it is likely possible to do the same with FB (markdown case editing would help this...) – cdeszaq Aug 27 2010 at 13:18
That's not to say you can't use FogBugz for publishing stuff on the web. It's just to say it's not one of the design assumptions that we made/make when we design/improve FogBugz. The use case we refer to is the use case of creating shared content securely tied to your project management. We've not taken on the challenge of communicating externally and publicly. – Rich Armstrong♦ Aug 27 2010 at 17:59
Oh, I meant internal blogs, for intranet usage only, not published on the web. – Dmitry Lobanov Aug 27 2010 at 18:38

Although clearly not ideal, with the new Wiki Navigation plugin that ships with FogBugz 8, you could use the Page Hierarchy view to organize your wiki articles into pseudo-blogs:

Page Hierarchy in FogBugz 8 Wiki

Additionally, if you'd like your blogs to publicly visible, you could use custom landing pages to expose your wiki to those without FogBugz accounts as well.

Why not... Anyway it looks like wiki articles is the best solution for purposes of project's internal personal blogging, if we want this information be closely related to FogBugz :) – Dmitry Lobanov Aug 27 2010 at 18:44
