Certainly. Cutting a release doesn't really require any knowledge at all about Webware's internals. There's just currently a lot of stuff that has to be done by hand -- updating version numbers, collecting release notes, running tests, creating the tarball, applying CVS labels, creating a CVS branch, uploading the tarball, editing the Webware home page, updating the Vaults of Parnassus, sending emails, etc. Some of this can potentially be automated. > > In other words, if I were able to help out with making > releases -- or anyone > else like me who's a Python and Unix hand but not a Webware > core hacker -- > would that allow you guys to release more often?

It doesn't really matter to me except that more frequent releases bring more user interest to Webware, which means more contributors, which makes Webware better. But I usually just use the tip of CVS :-) - Geoff _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
