## Blog post ideas

- airflow investigation results

- [all] real-world workflows
- [Ali] verdi-llm :-)
- [jg] Renkulab v2 integration: Getting dumped files from an Archive entry via the dumping on RenkuLab or AiiDAlab JG+XW? (ideally via GUI)
- [mbx] [Immutability vs. Usability](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-atomistic/issues/9), similar to talk by XW and MBx at EuroSciPy 2024 (e.g. MB)
- How to prepare a hero run (MBx, Michael, Timo)
- [jg] Comparison with other workflow managers (once paper is fully out)
- [xw] Workgraph, if we have stable release
- [ke] Materials Cloud migration?
- [ke] Not really AiiDA-related. Not sure if this makes sense.
- Writing AiiDA tests?
- Creating a wikipedia page on aiida
- Professor in Vietnam who's doing a full course on AiiDA?
- [MBx] Working with large databases (bulk operations, to be fleshed out).
- User story of how AiidA is used in industry by Ricardo Bertossa of Materys
- Paper where they use AiiDA in another field: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12665-025-12501-z (blog post on how aiida enables research outside of the materials science field)
- [ke] exporting an AiiDA subgraph to archive file. Not obvious how to retain all the links (multiple recent cases when the exported archive contained nodes without links).

## General Notes

- Create branches on the main aiida-website repository, not on own forks
- Start with blog posts after next aiidateam meeting (19-04-2024)
- Fix schedule for posts until next aiidateam meeting (19-04-2024)
- Provide examples, e.g. length of characters, how serious, number of figures, etc.
- Check old blog post of MC2D from GP -> KE will be working on that
- MBx out during October
