New issue 1719 by percival.music.ca: list of places to send release  
announcements
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1719

The old list under "unsorted policies" is out of date.  (I wrote a nice  
email about this problem, but I can't find it now)
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/contributor/major-release-checklist

Until we have a new list, I'm not going to make announcements anywhere  
other than lilypond.org and address@hidden

If you want to work on this issue:
- where should we send announcements?  I want links to the exact place;  
i.e. don't say "let's announce it at lwn.net", say "dump the announcement  
to lwn.net/projects/announce-release.php"  (fake url)

- if there's any kind of login or signing up to a mailing list before  
posting is allowed, put that in a separate list.  We might make a separate  
lilypond-announce email account for such things (unfortunately IIRC gmail  
officially bans sharing an email account, so it would have to be somewhere  
else)

- usenet, mailing lists, websites, social stuff like  
twitter/facebook/google plus?
  maybe see issue 940 as well.


ETA: 10 hours.
(PS. I'm serious about the priority; this issue is definitely not high  
priority)
