Community members should be able to make announcements, too

[etiennestuder]

when they release a new plugin (version) give a talk have found a work-around to a problem found an interesting blog post etc.

I have made you and Rene community champions. That should enable you to do this.

Hi Hans

I’m still not able to make announcements. I don’t see the topic type ‘Announcement’ when creating a new topic.

[hansd (Hans Dockter)]

Now it should work. I made you a moderator.

[etiennestuder]

I’m sorry, Hans, but I still don’t see it. Still can’t do it - unless there is a very hidden way to make announcements that I have not yet found. And I searched pretty hard for it.

[hansd (Hans Dockter)]

Sorry for wasting your time. Just found out that only people with the role ‘employee’ can make announcements.

We need to think about how to deal with that.

[etiennestuder]

No worries

Any news on the topic?

[rundis (Magnus Rundberget)]

Bump.

I’ve seen community members work around this issue by praising with [ANN] prefix in the title.

We are looking at options to make the forum much more useful for plugin authors and contributors to both announce and support their work.
