[Geoserver-devel] Please help with the GeoServer 2.3-beta announcement

Hi all,
I’ve just finished preparing a first version of the GeoServer 2.3 beta announcement on
the GeoServer blog. Please help me in completing and fixing it, so that we can publish
it later today (we are already one week late…)

Those that have access to the blog can edit it directly, for those that do not I’ve
attached the draft in PDF form, tell me what needs fixing here and/or attach
any screenshot you think would go with the announcement

The RC1 clock is ticking, please try to be quick.

Cheers
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
Hopefully not being too picky. Looks good, some minor grammatical changes.

“make next month**'s** first release” - is missing the bolded 's.

“also, it’s not possible to specifiy a custom title and abstract on LayerGroup” - I suspect that “not” should be a “now”. LayerGroup should probably be plural in that context too.

You should define GSIP the first time you use it. :slight_smile:

In particular, now the administrator can create custom authentication chains and associated [should be associate] them to the different URLs GeoServer exposes, [semi colon here?] the improvement also made [makes] it possible to have the CAS authentication subsystem work as expected.

CAS = acronym = define.

“for you javascript development enjoyment:” [your]

“development under FAO sponsorship.” [with not under]

“manage several GeoServer installation.” [installationS]

Not claiming to be comprehensive here though. :slight_smile:

Thanks, Andrea. This looks like an awesome release.

I’ve gone ahead and made some tweaks to grammar and whatnot, including addressing Jonathan’s suggestions: http://blog.geoserver.org/?p=1306&preview=true

I’m reading it now. One question, do we want to call it 2.3-beta1 instead of 2.3-beta? I think that’s what we’ve done with most all the past ones. Or is this going to be our only beta release?

I can make the change, and am happy to hit ‘publish’ after I do.

As per the separate thread were we discussed it (it was titled something like “an error in release schedule”)
it seems that people are happy with just one beta, that’s why I avoided calling it beta 1.

Cool

Published! Just left it as ‘beta’, both I think would make sense, I just hope we don’t have some random reason to do a second beta. Though can just call it beta2 then. I changed some weird colors on the inspire section, and changed norvegian → norwegian.

Looks like an awesome release. And if anyone spots more errors we can obviously fix them on the published version - there’s a whole lot there, so could have missed stuff.
