This time through, one thing I would like to see us do differently is be a little more organized about coordinating the packaging and release notifications. Last time the notices went out prior to many of the packages being produced, but I think it's well within our capabilities to get the packages generated first, and I figure users will appreciate that. This'll require us to hold off for a few days on the announcement though, while folks create the packages. It would probably also be wise to have a few people test packages before we post them. I'd also like to adopt a naming convention for the packages so it's clearer what's different from one package to another.
So, how about this for process:
1) Generate offical tarball. 2) Post it on Sourceforge 3) Announce to Inkscape-Devel 4) Wait 3 days (I'd like this to be time based) 5) Announce everywhere else in the world ;) (Anyone know where we can get a blimp?)
