Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it.
Sonar is fantastic, but it's not very accessible unless you have a Slack account for Review Board.
As an open-source project, it'd be good if we could get the student status reports posted to our public blog.
I'm thinking a quick-and-dirty Python script that grabs the data from Sonar, and posts it to WordPress via https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-wordpress-xmlrpc/1.4 or something. It could get run on a cron job once a week.
For students that don't have their status reports up before they're posted... er, I guess they could be manually added by the students after the post goes up. At least, until we decide to do something smarter.
I actually think that the way our status reports are written, they're not terribly interesting outside of the management of the student program. I think it's probably much better just to encourage people to write real blog articles about what they're learning/working on instead.
