David A few things I think. The main one is communication with the press. We stroke their ego's and they will be nicer to us (the very least is we don't make the press irritated). To quote from the article: "Better yet, the feature list was not just a readme file or half a page of generalities. It turned out to be a 29 page PDF file. Like some of the more ambitious features lists that projects post, it included that might interest developers and sysadmins. However, it also included videos and a breakdown of new features by application -- neither of which I've ever seen before in a feature list." I'm not saying our README has to be 29 pages. Just complete and thorough. The next quote: "The screen shots are especially welcome, since taking my own either interrupts the flow of my thoughts or is a nuisance when I'm finished proofreading and chafing to send off the finished article." Plenty of screen shots. Especially of LibreOffice and the TDE dialogs (I think that will be cool from a tech point of view). Leave out some of the older programs (KOffice). I think the whole point of the article is summed up: "Short of suggesting an opening paragraph or conclusion, Poortvliet did everything in his power to make the process of reviewing as painless as possible for me. In particular, by providing all this preliminary matter, he saved me one or two hours of effort, giving me more time to test and write." They don't have to review or even look at us. Helping the press in every way we can not only helps them, but it looks good toward the project and maybe the idea of that TDE is filled with haters will start to diminish. Shalom -- Bro.
