Also, starting with the 2.4 release, the development of FlightGear will now follow the [[Release Plan]], which will act as a guideline in upcoming development and regular releases of the FlightGear simulator in the form of a six-month development cycle; in otherwords, if this Release Plan's suggestions are followed thoroughly, stable releases of the simulator will be created twice a year, on the 17th of February and August. | Also, starting with the 2.4 release, the development of FlightGear will now follow the [[Release Plan]], which will act as a guideline in upcoming development and regular releases of the FlightGear simulator in the form of a six-month development cycle; in otherwords, if this Release Plan's suggestions are followed thoroughly, stable releases of the simulator will be created twice a year, on the 17th of February and August. | ||
== FlightGear.org Main Website Updated == | |||
Along with the [http://www.flightgear.org/announcements/flightgear-v2-4-0-released/ v2.4 release], the [http://www.flightgear.org FlightGear.org] web site has seen a complete overhaul during the month of August. The new website is based on "wordpress" which supports multiple editors and allows for much easier editing and updating of content. One interesting feature of wordpress is the ability to create "posts" and then allow anyone to add their own comments (pending approval.) Newsletter contributors (and anyone else) are invited to create a "post" for the main flightgear.org web site. This is a great way to promote your own project and do so in a context that allows more paragraphs and more pictures than can fit in a newsletter article. So please continue to submit newsletter articles, but also please consider developing a longer version for the main web site! | |||
