Well, AFAIK Norbert's announcements (of public releases, not the
pre-releases) go out on xemacs-announce, which has about 800
subscribers. (Not to make work for Norbert, but) We could post those
announcements on the web site. Since they're so frequent (at least
bi-monthly) we'd have to work out some scheme where several would be
available directly from the front page, I guess. Or maybe for the
most recent quarter and fraction, have links
I don't mind putting something similar to the public announcements on
the web site. IMO, it's a very good thing to do.
Since September 1, 2003, calc, games, cc-mode, <!-- about three

were <a href="Releases/index.html#package_news_2003q4">updated or

Since July 1, 2003, edict, mh-e, cc-mode, <!-- about five lines :) -->

Okay, sounds doable, I only have to remember creating the diffs :-) I
talk to Adrian and see what we can come up with.
On the other hand, if you're talking about major new features,
etc,
shouldn't that be done by, or at least coordinated with, the upstream
maintainers?
But still we have to come up with a way to announce the new goodies
somewhere.
