It should be "source" not "sources". It would look poorly to have incorrect URL in the press release.
We've not announced any of the "dot" releases on advocacy before, is this going to be a policy change?

Robert, > We've not announced any of the "dot" releases on advocacy before, is > this going to be a policy change? Yeah, I noticed that. OK: Proposal for Policy Change: I think we should post the "dot" releases as minor news items on the advocacy/news page. The reasons are: 1) we'd only have to do it every 2-3 months, making translations not difficult. 2) It gives our news page some activity 3) Contrawise, if a reporter finds out about the "dot" release through other sources, and doesn't see it on the Advocacy page, s/he may assume that Advocacy is abandoned and stop checking it. 4) Since we don't do a press release for the "dot" releases, a posting to News seems like "minimum required publicity" -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco
