Is this list appropriate also for announcing unofficial builds for the
XO, such as the F11-0.88 series?

(lately I've become too lazy^W busy to post release notes for our
builds...)

When releases are made, the actual release processes I know of involve
updates to a mailing list; the wiki simply reflects the latest updates
that have been announced.  Anyone following that release process can
update the appropriate page (or, if they are not a wiki admin, ask an
admin to do it).

I would love to see a similar brief summary of the latest stable raw
sugar and soas releases (stable and dev) as well - preferably on both
the olpc-wiki and the sl-wiki.

IMHO, someone at OLPC should be the one updating the infobox on the
OLPC wiki as it implies a degree of support from OLPC that the
community cannot presume.

[IAEP] devel announce list; publicizing major software & firmware updates

2010-07-19 Thread Samuel Klein
We have a devel-announce list that hasn't been much used.  We also
have many people who are interested in getting news about any major
release or security update, but don't have time to read all of the
traffic that goes to devel.

Reuben, Paul and I were discussing this earlier today; I would be
happy to see more people using devel-announce to publicize major
updates.  As there is some demand for this kind of low-traffic list,
if you are interested in that information, please sign up.
  http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel-announce

I also want to remind people of the Latest Releases infobox on the
wiki homepage.  Please update this information if you publish a new
stable release for any platform, or a new firmware release.  Wiki
admins can edit that information by following the "+/-" link in the
lower right-hand corner.
