ECN 2009/25
This is the first episode of the new Enlightenment Community News (ECN). ECN is your new regular source of information in the Enlightenment project. We will release interesting stuff over the mailinglist and enlightenment.org. This episode is not yet on enlightenment.org, but we'll get to this.
Unlike the current "News" section on enlightenment.org ECN will not do release announcements, instead it will contain interesting new things straight out of the SVN tree and the community.
If you are not only interested in reading the news, but also participating in writing it, feel free to take part at EnlightenmentCommunityNews.
Feedback is also highly welcome.
