4) Forums. We have the News and Announcements box on the forums and we |
| 2 |
will set sticky threads upon request. In fact we even stick threads |
| 3 |
and posts announcements if we encounter something worth mentioning |
| 4 |
in our opinion. Since we may not notice everything feel free to |
| 5 |
contact us in case you have some information worth sharing. |

Wrt to Chris' email i think the GWN is a good source of |
| 8 |
information and currently seems to feature most important things. If |
| 9 |
some people think that's not enough and someone steps up to do a RSS |
| 10 |
feed, news on the Gentoo website or whatever, it would of course be a |
| 11 |
good move, too. Setting up a centralized contact that forwards that |
| 12 |
information to website, mailing lists, forums, GWN, etc could be useful. |

The most important thing in my opinion would however be to release |
| 15 |
important information more actively. If a problematic update is ahead, |
| 16 |
information about it should go through all channels before users |
| 17 |
experience problems. Since the maintainer knows best, he should be the |
| 18 |
one contacting the others to release the information. Again, a |
| 19 |
centralized contact would be helpful here since the maintainer does |
| 20 |
not need to contact everyone and their mother then. |
