On behalf of everyone who worked on the announcement...some much more
than others (Jos)...I apologize.
I've added a comment to the Dot story. Ironically, Kopete will get
more attention this way than if had been summarized and included in
the announcement.
Your information is exactly what is needed from developers so that
developers' work can be publicized properly. This episode makes it
painfully clear that the release process needs to be improved.
