Agreed. Now more concretely, what do you suggest we do at each release, and who does what? E.g. can someone write info/kde-frameworks-5.2.0.php based on the input I gave, or shall I do my own thing there as fallback (won't be as good but better than nothing) ? I see there's also announcements/kde-frameworks-5.2.php and then kde-announce@. I would also add kde-core-devel@. I think it was said that a dot story is fine too, and then there's social media. My question is: are we doing all this every month, and is there a volunteer for doing it? -- David Faure, fa...@kde.org, http://www.davidfaure.fr Working on KDE Frameworks 5 _______________________________________________ Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list Kde-frameworks-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel
