Issue news releases

CMS resources


See Upcoming News for pending news releases.

A little aside: http://techcrunch.com/2010/09/06/meetyourfriends/ - entertaining post about what should be avoided in press releases.

Automatic

Other Communication Tasks

For each release, be sure to update the following items:

Outreach

Update info

  • Wikipedia pages related to CMS, Wiki .... and Tiki.
  • CMSMatrix page for Tiki
  • WikiMatrix page for Tiki
  • ForumMatrix page for Tiki
  • Youtube: Make a Tiki or TikiWiki profile or Channel on http://www.youtube.com/ and add all relevant videos to a playlist. Current search for TikiWiki gives all kinds of non-relevant content. (Régis 2012-10-10)


With packaging team

  • Make sure hosts are listing Tiki in their supported apps: MediaTemple, Bluehost, Site5etc
  • Make sure installers like Fantastico are using latest stable version. Please see: 1-click installers
  • Periodically check all Demo sites to make sure they are working and up to the latest version.

Big picture ideas


More ideas (from Rick)

  • We need more Twitter streams. I would like to re-suggest that we convert the RSS feeds from each forum into Tweets for its own account (tikiwiki_features, tikiwiki_i18n, tikiwiki_svn, etc.). The constant stream of tweets into the Twitterverse will help make Tiki appear more "alive."
    Current "official" TW Tweet streams include:
  • Update the two.o registration tracker to include links to all the TW-related signups (Ohloh.net, FB, etc.).
  • We should mirror the tw.o forms with the SourceForge mailing lists (this will help to raise the SF activity rating, too). We could mirror them one way (push all forum posts -> SF mailing list), which is very easy, and simply update the footer of each SF message to include a note that responses should be posted to tw.o forums.
  • Mirror the dev mailing list (and the others, too, but they're very low traffic) to the tw.o forum. There's LOTS of good information there that end-users could benefit from. We could make the forum read-only, with no impact to the existing dev list.
