Dear All To Ian, thanks for all your work in the past, you were a main part (or I should say a huge part) of the reason that SME kept going.
When there are minimal volunteers available to do the work, then it seems doing an additional post in the forums & having to do special formatting etc, is an inefficient use of their valuable & limited time. My feeling would be that release notes can continue to be sent to updatesannounce list, & then a rudimentary post can be made to the forums that links to the updatesannounce list eg The forum post is a reusable message & just says something simple like "There are new updates available, for details please see http://lists.contribs.org/pipermail/updatesannounce/ " or perhaps it could point to the current month http://lists.contribs.org/pipermail/updatesannounce/2014-December/thread.html It may also attract attention to end users to subscribe to the updatesannounce list & be automatically notified. That should be minimal additional work for the volunteer doing this job. It should also not be hard for end user forum readers to be able to click on a link & read the mail list announcements.

The forums posts finished earlier. Are you saying that you see value in having the release notes in the forums again? Maybe someone can also do an email to forum script - the formatting for the forum is annoyingly different...

I found the descriptive sentance or two very useful for deciding if the bug/new feature warranted an immediate upgrade or it could "wait a while". Not to mention just knowing what had been tweaked. > ... so I stopped when I became too busy. Which is fair enough. Have some belated thanks from me. -- Cheers Dave. _______________________________________________ Discussion about project organisation and overall direction To unsubscribe, e-mail [email protected] Searchable archive at http://lists.contribs.org/mailman/public/discussion/ _______________________________________________ Discussion about project organisation and overall direction To unsubscribe, e-mail [email protected] Searchable archive at http://lists.contribs.org/mailman/public/discussion/ _______________________________________________ Discussion about project organisation and overall direction To unsubscribe, e-mail [email protected] Searchable archive at http://lists.contribs.org/mailman/public/discussion/
