This might mean several upstream ## releases. To find this data, use the changelog in the package and look on the web. ## If you cannot find a usable changelog, simply drop that package. Try and group packages ## together logically, such as X, the kernel or GNOME. ## After all the package sections are written, organize them logically, based ## on desktop or server, GNOME, KDE, or Xfce4, etc. ## Sometimes bigger changes, such as a new development policy or a major new ## thing will be mentioned under a seperate heading |

| ## Things Ubuntu-specific are great, but general Linux goings-on are good to, to an extent. ## We don't need to replicate Digg & Slashdot, but certain things are of special interest. ## Just pulling one example from my memory, the story about Indiana schools piloting ## a classroom Linux deployment, a portion of which was Ubuntu, are good. Ubuntu ## release reviews are also common items in this section. |

| ## In this section we want to highlight the blogs that are exceptionally well-written and in-depth. ## Blogs tend to make it easy for low-quality content, so be extra careful on what goes here. ## We should encourage bloggers to spread the word, so this section might be a good way to do so. |
