A news or announcements category

Hi

Please accept my apologies I’m still getting used to using Discourse.

There is an about page for the Announcements category

The idea is to provide a lower volume channel for those who just want announcements, with discussion taking place elsewhere. (You can use your settings so you only get emails for announcements)

I feel it’s fine for announcing things like the release of Seq - a complete and documented package, with an extensive introduction post.

I’ve found some things tricky - posters need to lock the post to stop replies in the category, and posters probably need to suggest or create a discussion post.

Feedback welcome.

Stephen
