Wiki things
-
Finish the Press Kit -
Multilingual screenshot -
NOEDITSECTION, NOTOC on Press Kit and Announcement after complete -
Update Release Notes (esp new features) for 1.1, move 1.1 RC relnotes to their page (see Talk:NeoOffice/J Release Notes for plan)- Distill "what's new since RC" for VT, MU, Apple, etc., from this
-
Fix dates/versions in the following: NeoOffice/J ("even though its only in beta phase"), -
Version announcement on Main Page; link to NeoOffice/J 1.1 Announcement (and NeoOffice/J Press Kit) in that version line... -
Lock key pages:- Sunday night PDT? (if people start sending out releases on Mon?) (sardisson)
- Turned out to be Sun night-Mon-Tues AM because of spam and scheduling
- Take CD distribution page live at some point; get Ed to approve...
NeoOffice.org
-
New text on front page- ?
- Um, the date is wrong. It should be the 22nd, not today.
trinity.neooffice.org
-
Need a 1.1 release story- ?
neowiki.sixthcrusade.com
:
* Please replace the ship logo with one that has a transparent background. This one looks ugly over the mediawiki book background. Just select the PNG white area in Photoshop and press backspace (or something). -Ovvldc 07:35, 20 Jun 2005 (CDT)
- Xslf has also complained about that recently, as have I in the past (the current version is a JPG, not a PNG at all). I have uploaded a version of the ship logo that is only 26K (as opposed to the 40K it was in the past. Please use that one, Jake. --sardisson 15:34, 20 Jun 2005 (CDT)
- --Jake promised to do this tonight, when he gets back from birthdaying. Felix natailis tibi, Jake! (And thanks!) --sardisson 19:19, 21 Jun 2005 (CDT)
- Three cheers for Jake! We now have a transparent PNG as the NeoWiki logo!
What's the position on favicons? Bad? Good? Who-cares? I have a nice little ship-in-globe favicon-sized PNG we can use as neowiki's favicon, if you want. See the NeoWiki "mirror" for a real-life test.

-
MacAddict:Submissions for inclusion on CD here and editorial and release announcements go here -

MacCentral/Macworld:Jim Dalrymple -

Slashdot/MacSlash -
dev@porting -
c|net/news.com- Which is the "appropriate department editor" for a Neo/J press release? --sardisson 01:47, 19 Jun 2005 (CDT)
- how about some mainstream media?
- :
- Er, what about Apple.com Hot News (presumably that gets dispensed to all international outlets at Apple as well)?? - seems to be mostly Apple aggregating the media's stories about Apple :-( --sardisson 01:47, 19 Jun 2005 (CDT)
-
XLR8YourMac.com - Ars Technica: if you could persuade John Siracusa to write a review that might be pretty cool (he could be interested in the nitty gritty of getting OOo to run natively in OS X given his other columns - might provide an interesting perspective on the "how" rather than the "why" of NeoJ). http://arstechnica.com/columns/mac.ars
-
- EN_UK
- , : can you add sites/publications to this section?
- : Most of the sites I visit are US ones (when it comes to Mac/Tech news) but here are some possibilities:
-
MacWorld (UK edition):http://www.macworld.co.uk/contact/ (not sure who to e-mail there but they should be sympathetic given the presence of NOJ on their cover CD) - Press Releases - News, Reviews -
The Registeris worth a shot: (again not sure who to e-mail, but Andrew Orlowski or Tony Smith tend to be the ones who report on Mac news) - Press Releases -
MacUser/PC Pro:Magazine requests that press releases and news items should be submitted to Releases -
MacFormat Magazine:Reviews: Mark Sparrow Editor: Graham Barlow - The National Broadsheets might be worth a go too but I suspect this would be a long shot (for their online versions in their Sci/Tech sections):
-
The Guardian:online@guardian.co.uk -
The Times:online.editor@timesonline.co.uk - The Daily Telegraph: they don't seem to have any easy to find contact address so screw them ;-)
- The Independent: ditto the Indy - no contact e-mail that I can find
- Er, I can't remember others at the moment... The Guardian runs an online blog that may pick up the news from other sites anyway, fwiw.
-
- DE
-
contact info for lots of German Mac media, provided by apfelwiki.de- Done, except for the ones that seemed very un-Mac/un-tech AFAICT. Sent the English text with an apology saying we wanted to make sure to include them anyway...
-
- FR
-
MacBidouille-> will be translated and published on HardMac if published -
MacGeneration -
Mac4ever -
MacPlus.org -
MacTouch.com
-
- NL
-
http://www.macosx.nl/ - registered for the forum, will send announcement through http://www.macosx.nl/?p=newssubmit -
http://macfreak.nl/ - I already registered for the forums, editors are at redactie@macfreak.nl - http://www.macfan.nl/ - Idem,
but here press releases should go to redactie@macfan.nl
- Ovvldc. I will put the forum registrations to the name of NeoOffice and send these to my own e-mail address for now. After the release dies down, I will change the adresses to our community gmail account and forward the passwords. I'll do forum postings on wednesday as follow-up.
