It was 1 announcement every 6 weeks, per company. It was because a certain company whose flagship PG-related product happens to compete with pgAdmin had so many software releases that had they all been approved they would have almost constantly been on the top 3 list, and sometimes would have filled it themselves. > almost think we should add a 'Software Releases' section seperate from the > News Items ... keep News Items for stuff like 'article announcements' or > new service announcements, or such ... still need to have a policy on > software announces (ie. only major.minor, but no > major.minor.insignificant) ...
