May something like <https://tracker.orgmode.org/news.org> work? I am ok with an extra communication channel, but I definitely do not want to bother posting at each possible forum manually. Ideally, announcements from the mailing lists should automatically end up shared elsewhere. > # Use cases for Org project > > 1. **Official announcements**: Single source for releases, important updates > 2. **Maintainer feeds**: Individual feeds for development updates Our main announcement and maintenance channel is this mailing list.

If there are brides between Org social and mastodon/rss/email, that might work better as people can simply share from their existing platforms of choice. Or fully move to Org social, propagating to other platforms from there. > - Adding Org-social to community resources? I see no big harm doing this.
