Actually, I think you're right, only it was more like once per 6 months per 
product.

It was on this list.   Will have to search the archives.

Well, even if AMsoftware wasn't getting 1 item every 3 weeks, 2 of those 
should have been turned down on "lack of content" grounds alone.  With 
room for only 3 news items on the home page, I think we need to be really 
restrictive about what gets on.   If people want to announce things more 
frequently, there's the mailing list.  And we we need to be consistent, or 
we're going to make enemies.
