Re: Proposal to add "release requirements" check

Of course, I know there are differences, and yes I think we need at least a few iterations and cooperation of different projects. How I really like to work with such projects is that I roughly think about a solution, then experiment, see what works and finally when I have a working POC I involve p

Re: Proposal to add "release requirements" check

Hi Jarek, I think that updating the reporter tool to check for a conformant download(s) page is a great idea. I encourage you to see how to incorporate that check into the tool. I agree with you that sending out mass mailings is probably not going to result in changes in behavior. Only target
