Ok, then I can take a little more time to have things fixed properly.
By wednesday's night, I'll have done the gASQL sources tarball and
Mandrake RPMS, and the Mandrake RPMS for Gnome-Db and Libgda.
(Wednasday is almost the only day I can work on the projects).

So maybe we can make the announcement on thursday or friday next week
to give some time to Carlos and Akira if they want to build the RPM
and DEB packages for gASQL.

What do you think of this?

Ok, then I propose we make only one annoucement, and I will link to it
from the gASQL web site. I'll add in the announcement in the "changes" section
the fact that gASQL will be released with Gnome-Db everytime a new version
will come out, and include a link to the gASQL web site.

(What about then having only the www.gnome-db.org web site also for gASQL?)

Do you agree with this?
