Lack of legit release topics

I have to rant on this because nobody is doing anything about it.

Slashdot has repeatedly been announcing valueless releases of high profile projects, but releases that are actually useable go unannounced.

While ./ editors are selecting e17 CVS (yes, just a lousy CVS tree without instructions), and now the first alpha of KDE (like you're going to use it...) Important releases like Afterstep 2.0, or 2.01... and Windowmaker go unnannounced. In the past XFCE got posted, and /. even posted Afterstep 2 beta1.

Its time to get more consistant about what gets published here, and this doesn't belong. KDE has plenty of active developers and anyone who could contribute almost certainly must be aware of this release.

Lets refine some of slashdot, and publish small project releases that could use devel help. A great place to start is learning and documenting a project.
