Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Reminders of "to-dos" this week

[Eclipse WebMaster <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Egad!

Yes, Kim is right; I had specifically asked that Platform, CDT and WTP 
notify us webmasters in advance of releases (anything with an R- in 
front of it) so we can allow mirrors to sync up. Nothing here has 
changed. In fact, this applis perhaps even more so now if Platform, WTP 
*and* CDT will be doing a maintenance release all on the same day.

Don't be fooled: a Platform maintenance release without any mirrors will 
give everyone a good part of the day off as our site grinds to a 
screeching halt.

Kim's (B) point below is also to be taken into consideration.

Thanks,

D.
