We don't need to make a habit out of announcements as large as when Mono was added. That was a special circumstance due to the long background. Individual common packages do not need such fanfare, and trying to give it to them would wear out the value of special announcements. I generally think the best kind of announcement is one made by the maintainer on fedora-list or similar public forums. If the package is of special interest to a Fedora project or SIG, then the appropriate lead or committee could see to a larger announcement. I don't think we need to add a regular burden of the sort to the Board, though, as it isn't necessary and could detract from other important duties. -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64@xxxxxxxxx http://www.n-man.com/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/nman64 Have I been helpful?
