I read Murray wanted to announce new Mark's article, which is I have been doing this off and on for years. I think we all should. =) See my recent commit announcing Dru's new marketing whitepaper. The newsflash is put to much better use with this kind of information than when it is allowed to overflow with new committer announcements (those are important to, but it is sad to see them as the only news items). > a good thing.

I thought about adding it to the news.xml a few days ago but decided it would be better to have more rounds of review and improvement. It doesn't make a good first impression of the Handbook compared to some of our other chapters. With a little more work maybe we could announce the GEOM chapter in a few weeks. > Maybe the Project News is not the right place for these sort of > announces, but I still think we should communicate about important doc > additions/changes. Maybe we should treat the docs like the GNOME or Java news flashes. They maintain their own news files for those interested enough to peruse the second level pages, and occasionally, a major announcement is added to the top level news.xml file. - Murray
