In the wake of the Ruby on Rails mandatory security patch and its awkward handling, we've been discussing how we can avoid such a problem in the Django community.
http://weblog.rubyonrails.com/2006/8/9/rails-1-1-5-mandatory-security-patch-and-other-tidbits In case you haven't seen it, our "How to contribute to Django document" has a "Reporting security issues section", which describes our policy. Take the 30 seconds to read that: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/contributing/ In addition to that policy, which we've had for a while, today we created a django-announce mailing list. It's a low-traffic, announcement-only mailing list. We'll send a message to it for new Django releases, significant feature additions and security alerts. If you're a Django user, it'd be a good idea for you to sign up for this list. http://groups.google.com/group/django-announce Adrian -- Adrian Holovaty holovaty.com | djangoproject.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
