Commit Digest and Dot

[Stuart Jarvis]

Hey Vlad,

(by the way, I think we're all on the digest list so no need to cc me)

Given turnaround times on the Dot we'd probably need a bit more of a margin. 
It used to be that the Danny would publish the digest a week later (i.e. on 
the Sunday after the date the digest referred to. But if you guys are getting 
these done mostly by Tuesday we can surely go a bit earlier.

How about Friday as a candidate? Article submitted/uploaded by Wednesday, then 
a full day to give someone time to check it before publishing on Friday?

Take a look at:
http://community.kde.org/Promo/Dot

And particularly:
http://community.kde.org/Promo/Dot/Drupal

You won't need much of the information in that as the Commit Digest articles 
are pretty simple and you're basically formatting them great already. We're 
mostly just copying and pasting what you send us into a form in Drupal :-)

I'll try start off the process of getting you set up as a dot editor and email 
you directly.

Cheers,
Stu
