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?)
