Great idea, and I agree. I won't be the person spearheading this though, but since it'll probably be me making the announcement, I'd like to coordinate with this effort. > When 3.0a2 was released I contacted two larger German IT news sites. > Non > of them even bother to reply. :/ > > I propose that we provide two official texts for the press.

Starting with the first betas of 2.6 and 3.0 we should also work on official texts for the press. Other projects like PHP are drawing lots of attention with their releases, even with bug fix and security releases. Bad news are better than no news - a beta release is *good* news. When 3.0a2 was released I contacted two larger German IT news sites. Non of them even bother to reply. :/ I propose that we provide two official texts for the press. A shorter text which explains Python and the most important changes since the last version in a few paragraphs and a longer, more detailed text like Martin's text for the 2.5.2 release. I also propose translations of the shorter text to important languages like French, German, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish. I'm willing to help with the German translation.

Hi Steve, In this case, there was a lot more work to do because 2.6 wasn't tied in at all. Add to the fact that I didn't have any experience with the website infrastructure made things a bit more difficult the first time out. I still don't quite have the 2.6 links working correctly in my local fs. So the biggest problem is really: what steps do you take when you need to expose a new major release on the website? - -Barry -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBR8lkF3EjvBPtnXfVAQLjtQP/cyIu6i/3hL7RMyJjwi5UWaVelq+6+DjX c8P6aLT0Gq2jIIacwt2P5lWYGx5D2nahoLCkLoA4M3avHM6UiTaIW45nFrnffItx F/ib/UY/j+gsudlg5GsZQrBTzvrso6BFDuIr9VISuzf3e6QRr7sAhUfXzgIETXjj DPT3y474bDs= =Kxv7 -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

[Python-Dev] No releases tonight
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I tried, I really did. Python 2.6 is nearly ready, I'm mostly trying to figure out how to build the web pages properly. I haven't started on 3.0, but huge thanks go to Brett Cannon, Neal Norwitz, Mark Dickinson, and Fred Drake for helping out tonight with everything, including fixing the outstanding bugs in 3.0. Python 2.6a1 is tagged and built, so feel free to commit changes to the trunk. Python 3.0 is not tagged yet so if you can hold off from committing to that branch for a little while longer, that would be appreciated.
