Yes, it is. However, in the last 20 months only 2 out of 80 items were neither a release note nor a Report announcement. That's not a wide variety; personally i find this quite boring (however, i appreciate that the announcements are made regulargly - this ensures our website doesn't appear dead!). > The LilyPond Report is the > place for more transitory news items of non-technical interest. I don't agree that LilyPond Report is a place for non-technical /news/ of this kind. It's a place for interviews, articles, essays, funny quotes etc. - in general, longer and rather loosely written texts. It's something you read because you're a part of the community, not because you want to inform yourself. Additionally, it is released monthly - most of the /news/ are not new anymore after a month. Of course, i think that it's perfect to publish an article about Mike's tour in LilyPond Report - but an article and a news item are two completely different things. cheers, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
