Hi,
Every now and then, on IRC (well, at least on #opensuse-gnome), there's a question like "what's the deadline to get packages in this beta" or "are we feature frozen" or "should we submit to openSUSE:11.1 instead of openSUSE:Factory". I'm nearly sure answers to all those questions are obvious to some people and/or are documented somewhere on the wiki. But the fact is that it's not obvious to a bunch of people.
I'd like to see mails sent for all of this stuff, possibly to a new mailing list (opensuse-devel-announce, which would be for announcements for people following the development of openSUSE). Eg, sending a reminder that the deadline for submitting packages for the next beta is at the end of the week, or explaining that 11.1 was branched and updates for 11.1 should be handled this way or this other way. Or announcing that we're freezing upstream versions. Stuff like that.
Hi Vincent, I don't like yet another mailing list. I used to send such reminders to opensuse-packaging@ - but due to 11.1 deadlines and SLE deadlines being so close together this was not done this time as I did not send out reminders. And opensuse-packaging is really not that high traffic that being on there without maintaining packages should be a problem.
