Good to know. Can we have a list of news sites where it would be possible to
submint  GNUstep news? Perhaps on wiki:
http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/Marketing


On the other hand, I do not quite agree with Gregory that it is better to find
alternative to Slashdot. If you like the site or not or if the people in charge
are nice or not, it does not matter in this case. Slashdot is one of the most
readed, if not the most readed, news site where potential gnustep users can be
found. Therefore the question is not "What are the alternatives?" but "How can
we make Slashdot people in charge submit stories about GNUstep?". Submit
several paraphrased articles at one as alex noted? Or find and contact most
open person from slashdot? Or is there any other way? We need Slashot whether
they like us or not.
