Future of the WWN

[Zachary Goldberg]

Hey folks.

I plan on releasing one WWN per Wine release which
at a minimum will include a very short news section and the
bugzilla/appdb stats.  I will also be "crown sourcing" news via the
Wine Wiki: http://wiki.winehq.org/RecentNewsQueue.  If you would like
to get a news article into the WWN please add your post there and please
do not forget to add your name for attribution!

Thanks,
Zach

Sounds like a good plan.  I've been working on a personal schedule of
one story per week excluding weeks where I've had a lot of work to do.
 So far over the last month since I started that's ended up with two
stories, one of which is already up there talking to Maarten, and
another I still need to update.

I'm honestly not very interested in formatting and setting stories so
they work well in WWN format so if you are collating them do you have
an issue doing this side of things? I have been using the standard
format for news reporting so it's not too different.

I should have a third story about the new shader added recently by the
next WWN release.  Contact me if I haven't posted them to
RecentNewsQueue when you want to release the issue.

Awesome!  Now if we could get 2 or 3 more people doing this =P

I've done enough of the formatting in the past that it's pretty quick
for me now.  There are also a whole bunch of scripts which make the
process pretty simple.  I don't mind doing this.

Will do.

Thanks!
