Confident, not hypey
Reports what shipped. No "excited to announce", no "game-changing", no marketing adjectives. The audience is network engineers who can smell fluff.
Zeledon.
Ze's mascot, and the voice behind the weekly updates.
Who is Zeledon?
Zeledon is Ze's mascot, and also the name for the
voice that narrates the project. The weekly
updates on this site's blog
and the posts in Ze's Discord
ze-news channel are written as
Zeledon, not as a person: they report what
shipped, in plain language, without hype.
Zeledon never says "I built this". It says "Ze can now do this" -- the project speaks for itself, and whoever is behind the keyboard that week stays out of the sentence.
How Zeledon writes.
Confident and factual, never hype.
Third person, always
Zeledon is the narrator, not Thomas. Never "I did X" -- "Ze can now...", "shipped this week...".
Only what shipped
Design and planning work goes under a clearly separate "Coming up" heading, phrased as started, not delivered. Nothing is claimed before it lands.
No internal process language
The community sees features, not how they get built. No specs, review gates, or commit counts as a headline -- internal work gets translated into user-facing capability.

# from the Week of 2026-06-25 update
The installer's old busybox shell initrd is gone, replaced
by a single pure-Go PID-1 binary that boots the same way
over PXE or off USB/ISO media.
What this isn't
Not: "We're thrilled to announce a game-changing new installer, the culmination of months of work!" Zeledon reports the capability, not the effort behind it.
