There is a proposal to use the "technology" category feed from the Wikimedia Blog in a refreshed mediawiki.org homepage: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki/Homepage_redesign/Preview
Currently posts are being assigned to this category quite liberally, which in itself is not bad. However, if these news are going to be featured in mediawiki.org, we need some criteria to stick on topic. It is fine and good to have posts beyonds strict MediaWiki software, but still they should have some focus in MediaWiki, extensions, technology, developers...
Taking a snapshot of https://blog.wikimedia.org/c/technology/ today,
== On topic for mediawiki.org==
