Re: Can we document how to do GNOME announcements, please?



Hi,

Thanks for kicking off this discussion. It's something I've meant to do

an analysis at one point...)

Cool!

I've been keeping the front page of gnome.org going as best I can. There
are some short articles there about the GNOME Foundation elections,
feature proposals, etc.

Wow! Sorry Allan! I totally missed www.gnome.org/news - it was "below
the fold" when I checked the front page, and I basically just didn't
think to scroll down. So yes, this would be a good place to do a news
feed - better than news.gnome.org, I think.

What's involved in posting news there?

I have often found myself having to link to emails on gmane.org when
advertising announcements made by the release team. This looks terrible.
GNOME announcements should be GNOME branded and they shouldn't look like
they are from the 90s.

I agree. In general linking to mail.gnome.org would be slightly better
than gmane :)

We really need to get a proper process going for granting posting
permissions to gnome.org. I started putting this together on the wiki
[2] and posted to the web hackers list about it [3], but I never got a
response.

I'm not on web-hackers - honestly I wasn't aware it existed.

That's more or less where we stand right now. If we want to do a more
fundamental restructuring of our news platforms (which I think we
should), we should discuss goals and strategy before getting into
specifics. What are the different groups of people we want to provide
news for? What kinds of news do they want (and are there any overlaps)?

Sounds good to me. In the short term, I have a couple of news items for
gnome.org/news which it'd be cool to get up.

Cheers,
Dave.
