I don't agree with this because our goal is not publish at unknown web sites but to
focus on the well known sites even if we have to do it manually. This has may more impact
than automating the publication on web sites that nobody uses ;)
Of course if they are both well known and automatable it's a big win :) but I
don't think we should rule out some known web sites because we can't automate
them.
Maybe we should start by brainstorming about web sites where we could announce on here.
I'll start a thread for that.
Thanks

Do not even know DZone before your mail !
that's strange, it's one of the very famous and well known sites for news and
especially developer news…
Hi Thomas/Marius,
Like Thomas and Marius, I am +0
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?
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
