As far as I understand (being a person after those announcements on distrowatch, freshmeat etc), currently we're rather OK with testing -- better bugfixing loop would help more than more bugreports alone. So I only post release announcements, not RCs. > 2: It will help us to clear any further bugs if there > before final release.

Some feel that's no problem with us: focussing on "the globe" would be very fuzzy and anyway demanding for English language resources which we're not very interested in -- that means that focussing on "ex-USSR" or Russian-speaking audience is much more sharp right now as a matter of fact. BTW that might help folks to get motivated to learn Russian in their preparation of flight to Syberia from globalism hounds. ;-) > I hope my suggestion would be considered generously. Thanks Saleem, it's all OK; if you want, you can help me with announcements (prerequisites: enough time on hands). -- ---- WBR, Michael Shigorin ------ Linux.Kiev http://www.linux.kiev.ua/
