Hi Thomas/Marius,
Like Thomas and Marius, I am +0 I'm curious to understand why you're not more thrilled by this :)
Do not even know DZone before your mail !
We need the maximum tech marketing to spread the word about XWiki, and IMO we should publish to the maximum number of web sites that accept tech announcements. Don't you agree with this?
Sure, but there is surely too much sites that allow this.
Or are you +0 because it's more work?
and yes, we all know this is an annoying job for the RM.
I agree that if we add, say 5-10 more web sites to update, it's going to be a lot of work for the RM since this is manual work mostly (even though I think Sergiu tried to automate it but I'm not sure about the result/state). So I think that the best would be that each active committer takes 1 or 2 web sites and becomes responsible for updating them when there's a release (the RM will just need to ping them and their name would be part of the Release Plan documentation). I've personally been doing it regularly for wikimatrix and it's no big deal.
An alternative would be to have a MM (Marketing Manager ;)) in charge of updating all external sites…
WDYT?
Apart for some well known major sites that we may do manually, I think the best would be to only announce on those site that could be automated easily, and only when we have a script for that.
Thanks -Vincent

Hi devs,
When we release a new version we publish the announcement in several places (wikimatrix, freshmeat, wikipedia). I'd like to propose that we add DZone too.
For example I've just seen that GateIn 3.4 has been announced there: http://www.dzone.com/links/gatein_34_is_released.html
DZone is very well know and I think it would help spread the word even more about XWiki.
So here's my +1 to add DZone to the list of sites to update when we release.
Thanks -Vincent
