Blog post looks good - thanks for the hard work. I do see the blog post picked up everywhere by news anouncements. I wonder if we can tone down the amount of email announcing we now do? The community does seem to be supporting us in that respect.
I did notice from a couple of examples (this release and previous): - http://www.fernandoquadro.com.br/html/2010/05/25/geoserver-2-0-2-released/ That news items would really like to have a visual to associate with the news announcement. I would rather provide one in the blog post then see what is dug up on our behalf. On 26/05/2010, at 4:53 AM, Mike Pumphrey wrote: > I edited the blog post and hopefully made some improvements.
