devel announce list; publicizing major software firmware updates
We have a devel-announce list that hasn't been much used. We also have many people who are interested in getting news about any major release or security update, but don't have time to read all of the traffic that goes to devel. Reuben, Paul and I were discussing this earlier today; I would be happy to see more people using devel-announce to publicize major updates. As there is some demand for this kind of low-traffic list, if you are interested in that information, please sign up. http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel-announce I also want to remind people of the Latest Releases infobox on the wiki homepage. Please update this information if you publish a new stable release for any platform, or a new firmware release. Wiki admins can edit that information by following the +/- link in the lower right-hand corner. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Template:Latest_Releases SJ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

When releases are made, the actual release processes I know of involve updates to a mailing list; the wiki simply reflects the latest updates that have been announced. Anyone following that release process can update the appropriate page (or, if they are not a wiki admin, ask an admin to do it). I would love to see a similar brief summary of the latest stable raw sugar and soas releases (stable and dev) as well - preferably on both the olpc-wiki and the sl-wiki.
