Hey guys, I hope you remember the discussion we had about the coming regular Enlightenment news source, formerly known as Enlightenment Weekly News. I've gotten _only_ positive feedback, so I think most people like the idea and we can do this as proposed. One criticized point was, that weekly might not be the best idea, so I changed the concept a bit. I still would like to keep the 'kind-of-weekly' approach, doing releases of the news on Sundays, but now not based on time, but on mass of information. As soon a certain point of news is reached, it will be release on the following Sunday. If it takes 1,2,3 or 4 weeks, no problem. So I changed the name toe EnlightenmentCommunityNews, because everyone can contribute and I hope many people do. :) As discussed, the Wiki is a good possibility to write the stuff, so that's what we will use. I put all relevant information on [1], please read, discuss and improve it however you like. I will post the ECN releases on the users mailinglist, starting with the first release (most likely next week, called ECN 2009/25). Unfortunately I haven't got any feedback from the people responsible for www.enlightenment.org where I would like to see a section for the news, so new and irregular visitors can find it. I'd really appreciate if the webmasters would use this thread to find a good solution. Thanks in advance, thomasg [1] http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/wiki/EnlightenmentCommunityNews |

I think it can do the work you need better than the wiki. And we can easily rename 'News' in something you like :) Just my 2 cents Dave > > > Thanks in advance, > > thomasg > > [1] http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/wiki/EnlightenmentCommunityNews > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial > Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited > royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing > server and web deployment. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects > _______________________________________________ > enlightenment-devel mailing list > enl...@li... > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel > |

The wiki is just there to work on it. The trac-blog would of course fit better, but it's still hidden for irregular users (I wouldn't know what to expect behind "tracker" if I wasn't looking for trac specifically - and than click on the small "News" section in the trac-submenu, while there is a big "News" in the main menu). >> >> Thanks in advance, >> >> thomasg >> >> [1] http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/wiki/EnlightenmentCommunityNews >> >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial >> Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited >> royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing >> server and web deployment. >> http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects >> _______________________________________________ >> enlightenment-devel mailing list >> enl...@li... >> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel > > |

I really like the idea of having everyone pitch-in a given wiki page and once it reaches the required amount of information someone copy&pastes the whole page as a new article for the main website news page (after some editing, of course). |

Everyone can contribute, I will do the editing. I'd also like to have it in the News-section directly on e.org, for that the current News-section would have to be remained to "Announcements". Still waiting for one of the webmasters to comment this ;) > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial > Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited > royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing > server and web deployment. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects > _______________________________________________ > enlightenment-devel mailing list > enl...@li... > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel > |
