Considering the number of hits on www.g.o, our front page is probably the best |
| 23 |
place for a single point of information. Top-5 hits for October 2005: |
| 24 |
/rdf/en/gentoo-news.rdf 1,319,035 |
| 25 |
/ 1,168,361 |

/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml 549,658 |

Should critical updates be announced in a news item? IMHO, yes, it can and it |
| 31 |
should be done. |
| 32 |
How? |
| 33 |
Maybe it would be easier to have a bugzilla alias, have news items be posted |
| 34 |
to b.g.o and let an extended pr team review and publish (or discard). |
| 35 |
As long as the news item is properly written and posted early enough, I see no |
| 36 |
problem with that. |
