Remove file with obsolete release announcement information.
This file was last (really) updated in 2003 and, unsurprisingly, information in it is not relevant 10+ years later and most of URLs in it simply don't exist any more (or exist but are no longer used, such as freshmeat.net, since yesterday). Any additional places to announce wxWidgets releases should be added to the "Announcement" section of docs/contributing/how-to-release.md now. git-svn-id: https://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/trunk@76741 c3d73ce0-8a6f-49c7-b76d-6d57e0e08775

Publicity notes and ideas
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
Release announcments can be made to the following
|
||||
newsgroups.
|
||||
|
||||
Microsoft:
|
||||
|
||||
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.misc
|
||||
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.tools
|
||||
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.tools.mfc
|
||||
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.tools.misc
|
||||
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32
|
||||
comp.windows.ms.programmer
|
||||
microsoft.public.win32.programmer.tools
|
||||
microsoft.public.win32.programmer.ui
|
||||
microsoft.public.win32.programmer.3rdparty
|
||||
microsoft.public.win32.programmer.wince
|
||||
microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer
|
||||
microsoft.public.smartphone.developer
|
||||
|
||||
Non-Microsoft:
|
||||
|
||||
comp.programming
|
||||
comp.os.linux.development.apps
|
||||
comp.os.linux.announce
|
||||
comp.sys.mac.programmer.tools
|
||||
comp.software-eng
|
||||
comp.lang.c++
|
||||
|
||||
borland.public.cppbuilder.thirdpartytools (newsgroups.borland.com)
|
||||
|
||||
comp.windows.x
|
||||
comp.windows.x.announce
|
||||
comp.windows.x.motif
|
||||
|
||||
Note: submissions to comp.os.linux.announce must be
|
||||
sent to cola@stump.algebra.com, with short descr
|
||||
of software and location. See http://stump.algebra.com/~cola/
|
||||
NO CROSSPOSTING when sending to this address.
|
||||
|
||||
Pack plenty information into the subject.
|
||||
Don't write a subject like "Foo version 1.1 released". Many
|
||||
people will not know what Foo is, so the subject won't help them
|
||||
select articles. Instead, say "Foo 1.1 - copy files more
|
||||
efficiently than cp". There is no need to say that the article
|
||||
is an announcement, so don't write a subject like "ANNOUNCEMENT:
|
||||
Foo version 1.1 released".
