Overview

This page serves as a central location for GnuCash's PR planning. It is currently setup for the 2.2.0 release. See also gnucash-devel thread http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2007-May/020595.html

Here's the point: When 2.2.0 is released it will be a big deal. With this release we break into the mass market: Windows.

Milestones

  1. Prepare release announcements (multiple languages: English, German. Any other? Brazil Portugese?)
  2. Create tarballs
  3. Build Windows installer
  4. Website announcement -- all done as of 2007-07-16.
  5. Distribute announcement to press

Please list all places we should provide announcements to. Also you should check http://www.google.de/search?q=gnucash+windows occasionally to see how many sites already picked up these news, even without any further press work from our side.
