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..
