Bruce Morrison	Tuesday 02 November 2004 4:36:23 pm Firstly I must say thanks for 3.4.3 & 3.3.6. It's great to see support for the older versions of eZ publish continuing. In future is is possible to get a heads up in relation to new releases before they are released. This would allow better planing and management of projects on our part. The weekly newsletter would be a great place for this type of announcement.

Paul Forsyth	Tuesday 02 November 2004 11:59:09 pm A mailing list for announcements and an announcement forum would be perfect. But i guess its too hard for ez to do. Presently its actually very very hard to spot new releases. I only spotted the 3.4.3 release by chance. paul
Ole Morten Halvorsen	Wednesday 03 November 2004 12:19:03 am The release was actually mentioned in the last newsletter: http://ez.no/community/news/community_newsletter_29_10_2004 But I agree, it was not that easy to spot the release and we should make this a little more clear somehow.

Paul Borgermans	Wednesday 03 November 2004 12:39:35 am Easy enough for me, and I welcome this release (3.4.3) as it fixes a few nasty issues. In the meantime, I'll be less ruthless in applying the stable branches between releases ;-) -paul PS: try the RSS feed on news if the ez.no/community page always looks the same. eZ Publish, eZ Find, Solr expert consulting and training http://twitter.com/paulborgermans
Bruce Morrison	Wednesday 03 November 2004 3:43:52 pm Thanks for pointing that out Ole. I tend to scan web pages when viewing them locating headings that are of interest then read the first lines of the first paragraph and so on. The bottom line is that I don't read the entire text. Jakob Nielsen has written about this in his alert box "How Users Read on the Web" http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9710a.html In this case the information was contained at the end of the first paragraph under the heading "PHP Bug" ( for those still having trouble finding it ;) The release information probably required it's own heading. Personally this is more important to me than the PHP bug! With that said, I do appriciate the weekly newsletters and would like also add to the requests for them to be availible on a mailing list. Keep up the great work.
