I very much enjoy Nate's This Week in Plasma blog posts (https://blogs.kde.org/categories/this-week-in-plasma/). Conversely, the announcement posts on https://kde.org/announcements/ are very dry and technical. Compare, for example the "official" announcement posts for 6.4.2: - https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.4.2/ - https://kde.org/announcements/changelogs/plasma/6/6.4.1-6.4.2/ with Nate's blog content for 6.4.2: - https://blogs.kde.org/2025/06/28/this-week-in-plasma-inertial-scrolling-rdp-clipboard-syncing-and-more-session-restore/#plasma-642 - https://blogs.kde.org/2025/06/28/this-week-in-plasma-inertial-scrolling-rdp-clipboard-syncing-and-more-session-restore/#plasma-642-1 - https://blogs.kde.org/2025/07/05/this-week-in-plasma-chugging-along/#plasma-642 I think it would be a great idea if Nate's content could be re-used in the Plasma announcement posts :)
It more or less is used at least for the release announcements for feature releases; the promo team and I mine it for information to write the release announcements. We can't re-use the text in the posts directly since the wording wouldn't fit a glossy release announcement. I see what you mean about the bug-fix releases though. These are currently auto-generated from the commit messages. We could definitely do a better job there by doing it by hand, but to be honest I think it would be too much work. Plasma has 18 of these per year; there likely just aren't resources to do that. What I think we could do is make better use of git commit tags (like FEATURE and CHANGELOG) to make the auto-generated text in the bug-fix releases better. Someone would need to champion that initiative. Maybe you? :D
