Yeah that's sounds good and I'm happy for it to automatically send to the Col
social media groups I run as like I said in the past I pretty much set them up
for promoting FreeCol to general Col fans anyway haha! Like Caleb I have no
idea how to set something like that up either though sadly. Hopefully the
discord github action supports giving it a specific subchannel within the
discord (eg the freecol subchat we've been using) otherwise god knows where
it'll end up in the channel. Stian's been doing some cool stuff in that chat
lately which is awesome to see as there's a few programmers there who sound
tempted to join the team! Also if you guys want a private developer only
subchat setup on the Col discord too for the team to communicate without snail
mail delays just let me know. :)
Oh and does GitHub Actions support posting to Reddit too? As FYI I also set up
a 3rd Col community there too which has surprisingly actually now grown bigger
than the Facebook and Discord ones!https://www.reddit.com/r/ColonizationGame/

I think that's an excellent idea. We should go for it. It's beyond my ability
and knowledge (and perhaps access to SourceForge). Anything the developers can
do to make FreeCol more accessible to the people that are playing the game, the
better. Posting to Facebook and Discord would be really helpful too.

We can do this directly from SourceForge.net using a Git server hook. There is
no need for Travis.

We can use GitHub Actions for making these builds. Github Actions is free for
public repositories.

The Mac bundle can be created using GitHub Actions. We can also automatically
both build and publish nightly builds. Release notes can be automatically
generated using commit messages (although such a commit log might not be user
friendly). It's apparently even possible to automatically post messages to
Discord and Facebook -- although I have not tried that before.
