- we add info and a link to semi-offical repos like Games or security in the relevant section of the highlights - Only maintainers/packagers from one such repos are allowed add it. That way THEY decide if their repo is ready, or useful for the general public. - They can add many or as little warnings and disclaimers they like but the marketeers will fix wording etc to make it all look consistent. - We do NOT mention home projects; only projects which have a number of people working on them!
All this does NOT mean you should not get your stuff in Factory. That is still the only way to really get talked up and noticed by the vast majority of our users! But this DOES give our users a bit more exposure to the cool stuff you all do on OBS. And it makes our release a tad more exciting!
We talked about Samba in the draft of the release notes. The content unfortunately didn't made it into the final version. Not a big deal. But therefore I also count the network:samba:STABLE repository as something not passing the criteria of being cool and hip enough for getting added to the planned announcement. I appreciate this approach to keep the stable stuff away from our users. ;) BTW At the moment Samba from network:samba:STABLE is already one fix ahead of the code we offer with openSUSE 12.1.
