Thanks to GHOP[1] participant ezyang[2] and the talk I gave[3] at BADCamp[4], I'm happy to announce the creation[5] of a new must-read d.o handbook page for everyone maintaining projects on d.o: "Releases and Update Status" http://drupal.org/node/197584 It explains how update_status works, and how the choices you make as a module maintainer regarding your official releases and project node settings impact your user base by means of the update_status module (now in core for D6). Please read it! ;) Thanks, -Derek (dww) p.s. There are a handful of edge cases and limitations in the current behavior. I've posted a proposal to fix them all. Comments, input, and/or help would be most welcome: http://groups.drupal.org/node/7440 [1] http://drupal.org/node/195913 [2] http://drupal.org/user/211688 [3] http://badcamp07.org/07/sessions/how-develop-and-maintain-your- drupal-contribution [4] http://badcamp07.org [5] http://drupal.org/node/179103
