== Template for announcement of changes and new features == | |||
From a forum PM from Hooray (posted here with his permission): | |||
<div style="background: #fafaf0; padding: 1em;"> | |||
hi, whenever we announce a new feature, we typically need to do this in three places: | |||
* newsletter | |||
* changelog | |||
* the docs (corresponding wiki articles) | |||
so far, we have always copied & pasted things, I would prefer to have a single template for this instead, something like | |||
{{tlx|Announce|version|description}} | |||
This could add announcements to each release cycle (i.e. 3.2 currently), and we could maybe automatically add things to the newsletter and the release changelog. | |||
Like I said, I would like to avoid redundant efforts, i.e. less copy & paste | |||
Do you have any ideas on how to implement this using existing wiki means ? | |||
Ideally, we would create a new announcement, like for example "canvas mouse button support", and could then use this announcement in all 3 places by calling the corresponding template. | |||
Thanks | |||
</div> | |||
My take is that to use a separate template for each new feature is not a good idea, but if I understand him correctly his intention is to gather up each months new features in one template. | |||
Any thoughts on this? | |||
