Excellent. The suggested template for the announce message mentions the
Trac project and so I hope that it is appropriate for all places we
could want to announce it.
As for the twitter account, it might be nice if this was also something
that could effectively be done by a release manager. I'm not so much
thinking of sharing the account details (although it could be useful to
share those between more PPMC members just in case). I would probably
prefer to just be able to send an email or even get the message
automatically triggered by the announcement appearing on announce@
The wikipedia idea sounds good too - certainly worth investigation. I
would hope that copying the Trac entries and then updating as we
officially gain specific features should not be too controversial. The
guidelines for wikipedia discourage writing about anything you are
directly involved in - even so, it would probably be better not to hide
association of the project with such an addition.
Cheers,
Gary

Ok, I will add trac-users@ to the list of places where we should announce
releases.
I was hoping to add some more places though. Ryan set up an Ohloh profile in
the past [1], which may help people stumble across Bloodhound. I will try and
add it to the Wikepdia page comparing ticketing systems [2] (it seems different
enough to Trac in the features table).
Are there mailing lists of python users that may be relevant?
Specific forums or blogs? Olemis has been doing some promotion that way in the
past [3], which is great in my opinion.

FWIW , I do . I wonder whether I've also seen rjollos around ... or
maybe it's just a figment of my imagination ? It's just that I confuse
trac-users@... with trac-dev@...
You are not imagining. I follow both lists and I haven't seem any negative
reactions to mentions of Bloodhound. I would be very surprised to see
negative reactions since we push fixes back to Trac, etc...
I think that as long as the project gives due credit back to Trac, then we
can use trac-users. We are not a corporation, but another OSS project.
People generally get bothered about corps, not other open source projects.
*IF* a problem arises, then we can discuss with the trac-users community,
on how to amend the process.
At this point, given that plugins/etc announce there, and that a prior
announced didn't generate an uproar, it looks like a great forum.
