Fair enough. I was just going overboard on my "every piece of info should only be in one place", but pasting a few lines of text from an email to news-front.itexi (or vice versa) isn't hard. > Speaking of, I don't claim that announcing releases should > be exclusively done by the release meister, but have you realized that > last release news item is three months old and is going to disappear > from the list on the home page? On the old webpage? Meh, doesn't bother me. :) The new webpages will use a much more predictable system -- manual cut&paste from the maintainers. There's no point automatic this. And since the news items are written in simple texinfo, it's easier to add items than it was with HTML stuff. > Even if I don't know how reliably I'll be connected to the > internet in July and August (this means, I'm not sure to have > more than 1 hour of free connection time every day, but I won't > be completely offline for more than four consecutive days), I > consider volunteering again to write news items, giving more > credit to the huge work done on GUB than I previously did, > starting from next Tuesday. I don't think that's necessary... getting the translation infrastructure for the new webpage is much more important, IMO. Once that's up, I'm happy to deal with the release news.
