All, With TDE R14.0.0 RC2 just around the corner I need some assistance with the press release: http://trinity.etherpad.trinitydesktop.org/37 Making sure the list of news outlets is up to date (and providing Email addresses) would also be helpful. I am not one who typically consumes open source news so I'm not sure what the best outlets to submit this to would be. I would recommend staying away from Phoronix though as they have a strong pro- Wayland/tablet/phone and anti- traditional desktop computing viewpoint. Historically I seem to end up tied up with release-related tasks and have not been able to get a proper news release out on time (or even at all), so any help with this is much appreciated! Thanks! Tim Hi, Please note that the following is only my opinion, and view as an user and not a dev: What this document is doing is more like a chip datasheet than something to attract new users. By seeing it with the viewpoint of the user, you should: 1. Very very important: Include screenshots: You would never sell a car with a picture of it... 2. Quite important: What do day-to-day users should expect to be new from 3.5.13.2, or for new users who didn't know about TDE, what is to expect from it in relation to KDE 3.5.10? Do their day-to-day software got improved, bugs are fixed and better running? 3. Datasheet-like info as it is now. Thank you! What do you think! -Alexandre

I did not write the original on that site. What I have written in the past are pages like this (screenshots included): https://www.trinitydesktop.org/newsentry.php?entry=2014.11.19 https://www.trinitydesktop.org/newsentry.php?entry=2011.11.01 I am asking for assistance writing a replacement as it needs to be done but I simply don't have the time (or apparently the perspective) to do it properly. :-) Thanks!
