Draft: Release blog post

[MichaelChirico]

Part of #824

Filing here to facilitate collaboration -- I've only got the first paragraph or so going.

[MichaelChirico]

BTW, we won't merge this I guess. Just keep it in this branch for review and then pass the source along to Hadley to host it on the tidyverse blog. IIUC that should come after releasing to CRAN so that readers can install right away.

[MichaelChirico]

I was thinking about a section on the conversion to XPath logic / export of xml_nodes_to_lints(), WDYT @AshesITR, worthy of inclusion? Want to take a stab at it?

[AshesITR]

I'd leave out the linter development stuff (including is_lint_level()) and move use_lintr() further up so new users can easily see how to try out the new package.
I think the audience will contain far more end users than linter developers.

Maybe include the snippets from README.md regarding using lintr?

[MichaelChirico]

Highlighted all the end-user-oriented linters in the beginning, WDYT?

[AshesITR]

Symbolic approval - the Blog post looks excellent now.
Thanks for the hard work!

[MichaelChirico]

great! @jimhester @russHyde @renkun-ken do you want to have a read through?

[MichaelChirico]

@hadley let us know anything else we should do / how we should proceed from here after 3.0.0 hits CRAN

This LGTM, thank you for writing it. Where were you planning on posting this, on tidyverse.org or elsewhere? Or just on the pkgdown site directly? For lintr 2.0.0 I had a post on my personal blog (https://www.jimhester.com/post/lintr-2-0-0/), but that doesn't seem the best place for this

[russHyde]

LGTM. Thanks so much for your hard work on lintr

Hadley had offered to host it on the tidyverse blog: https://twitter.com/hadleywickham/status/1528081727259824128

@jimhester I like the idea of including people who opened issues, not just those who changed code -- do you have a snippet handy for calculating that? Otherwise I guess it's just issues |> filter(dates_since(prev_release)) |> unique(OP) aided by {gh}?

@MichaelChirico usethis::use_tidy_thanks() might do what you need

[jimhester]

@MichaelChirico thanks again for writing this up, I think it sounds great!

The next step would be to open this as a pull request on the tidyverse blog, at https://github.com/tidyverse/tidyverse.org.

I used https://unsplash.com/photos/NPPNHZK1U0s for the picture in the 2.0.0 release, you are welcome to reuse that, or pick another one as you prefer.

[AshesITR]

Dropping this here. Can we close this PR, @MichaelChirico?
tidyverse/tidyverse.org#584

[MichaelChirico]

I would leave it open as a TODO reminder for now
