We've added a big new feature to OpenPlans: your project can now have a blog.  To add a blog to your existing projects, go to the project preferences screen and select the "Blog" checkbox.  You'll now have a blog (powered by WordPress) which your project's administrators can post to and members can submit posts for review.

In addition, we've made a few other improvements:

• Xinha is now the text editor sitewide; please let us know if it's missing any features you need for editing.
• Projects can now choose whether their homepage is the wiki, mailing lists, task tracker, or blog; go to your project's preferences page to select a new homepage. 
• People invited to projects by email can now join the project in the same step as joining the site. 
• People can now request membership to a project without yet having an account on the site.
  

As always, we love to hear from you; please drop us a line and tell us what you think!
