I've yet to meet ANY piece of software that's like that. Even with releases of CPython (arguably the primary point of this list) it wouldn't hurt to give an explanation, and certainly with other Pythons, it'd help a lot (PyPy and Jython are probably guessable, but I wouldn't bet on anyone knowing what "IronPython" is without a summary). > Here are a few randomly selected examples of good release announcements: > > http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-announce-list/2012-June/009528.html > > http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-announce-list/2012-June/009509.html > > http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-announce-list/2012-June/009524.html Agreed, those are worth imitating.
