Good day All,
Sorry for the thread hijack, but...
GWN: The GWN is currently in a permanent state of hiatus. I have no
intentions on spending another minute working on the GWN. While many,
many improvements have been made in the processes for getting the
automated data, getting articles has been pulling teeth, at best. This
was taking me upwards of 12 hours a week, which was impacting the time I
had available to work on things like releases and my day job. As such,
the GWN is abandoned and will likely stay that way until someone steps
up and decides they're ready and willing to give up their lives to work
on this publication. Yes, I think switching to a monthly newsletter
would *help* the problem, but it still won't resolve it. The GWN needs
articles more than anything, and few people are submitting anything.
If nobody has a problem with making the GWN a GMN (Monthly newsletter),
then I am willing to volunteer to get this project back on track. Even
if few people actually submit anything, I think there is enough activity
going on this list, the planet and -commits to fill up a newsletter
every month. And I'm willing to invest 12, even 15, hours a month to get
this thing rolling again.
If you do, I can start doing package mask reports again. I stopped when
the GWN did since I didn't think it was very interesting to -dev readers
that see the individual announcements anyways.
