I'm not sure where we are with the new vectors team. But hopefully starting with the next release, it will be organized enough to handle making the announcments. Meanwhile, would you like a News items for this? I was just about to make posts in forums, but maybe a News item would would be helpful as well?

Thanks, although I think a News item is unnecessary - we're just a couple weeks from the actual release so interest for end users is probably low, and the style of testing at this stage we need is not really crowdsourceable as it needs pretty tight feedback loops with developers.

However, it's definitely a good point now to start prepping the official news item, and for that would be good to coordinate with Ryan and other Vector teammembers that might have good ideas for phrasing. Would also be wise to review/polish the Release Notes for 0.92.2 in wiki. They look like they've been getting good attention, so the work might be minimal, but I did only a cursory skim through.

I'm already working on an news release actually. But I'll need some input shortly. On Jul 26, 2017 11:31 AM, "brynn" <brynn@...3089...> wrote: I'm not sure where we are with the new vectors team.
