[wtp-dev] Help Requested: WTP 1.0 news site coverage

[Lawrence Mandel <lmandel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

With WTP 1.0 looking ever more promising,
we need to address the coverage of news sites and blogs following the release.
Covering a site means watching it for posts about WTP and following up
with the posts where necessary. It may also mean posting an announcement
yourself if there is no coverage on the site.

Pieter Humphrey has compiled a list
of 19 sites (see the end of this e-mail) that we should monitor and has
volunteered to monitor three of the sites himself. (Thanks Pieter!) That
leaves 16 sites to be covered, and I'd say 17 slots as we will need at
least two people covering the newsgroup. (This is not to say that everyone
doesn't need to check the newsgroup but rather that 2 people will be dedicated
to ensuring questions are getting answered in a timely fashion.) I'd like
to request the each component team volunteer at least two people (with
the exception of server tools which, afaik, only has Tim and Gorkem) to
cover sites. With those 11 we will only have 6 slots left to fill. I'll
volunteer to fill two of the slots. PMC - can you help fill the remaining
four slots?

Remember, you do not have to be a committer
to monitor a site. We'd welcome volunteers from the WTP community (including
users and adopters). Volunteering to monitor a site should only require
10-15 minutes a day (or every other day) for the first few weeks of the
WTP 1.0 release.

Thanks,

Lawrence
