I'd rather not use a template for my release announcements, because these announcements are generated by the same script I use to release many other projects, and it already automates things fine. The template would need changes to my script and would only complicate the setup I have now. --[[Joey]]

No problem; sorry for the inconvenience.

Since page moves currently require direct repository access, could you please move this release template to examples/softwaresite/templates/release, and s/ikiwiki/FooBar/g?

Also, would you consider posting your project release scripts somewhere? If you have already done so, then could you post a link to them?

No problem. My release script is here: http://svn.kitenet.net/trunk/bin/wikiannounce --[[Joey]]

Thanks for moving the page.

Very nice announcement script.

Minor typo report: s/Wili/Wiki/ :).

Also, why do you subst &, <, and >? Markdown already replaces those with entities.

Finally, have you considered using an [[cpan HTML::Template]] in the script itself? Not on the wiki, just as a means for easy customization. Seems like that would simplify any edits to the format, and make the Perl code easier to work with at the same time.

Also, will this discussion page end up in the softwaresite example? If so, perhaps it should go elsewhere. --[[JoshTriplett]]

I escape html because markdown does not escape fully formed html tags and I want to be able to mention such tags in my changelogs.

This page should probably be moved somewhere else, or just deleted.. --[[Joey]]

Ah, that didn't occur to me, and it makes perfect sense.

Apart from the link to your wikiannounce script, feel free to just delete this page. Perhaps you could link to that script from elsewhere on the ikiwiki ikiwiki?

Thanks again. --[[JoshTriplett]]
