Actually, I think you're right, only it was more like once per 6 months per
product.

It was on this list. Will have to search the archives.

Well, even if AMsoftware wasn't getting 1 item every 3 weeks, 2 of those
should have been turned down on "lack of content" grounds alone. With
room for only 3 news items on the home page, I think we need to be really
restrictive about what gets on. If people want to announce things more
frequently, there's the mailing list. And we we need to be consistent, or
we're going to make enemies.
