Hi Thomas/Marius,
I'm curious to understand why you're not more thrilled by this :)
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?
Or are you +0 because it's more work?
More work and I never go to DZone (I even barely know it except by
name) so I have a hard time imagining that doing announcements there
is mandatory.
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…
That would surely be nice but I doubt it would work for long if not
done by the Release Manager.
If they have a REST service or something like that to add it to the
release script that's fine.
WDYT?
Thanks

http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs 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
