Yes, there will be an announcement.

In the past, the main announcement has been made on
http://kde.org/announcements/ with a synopsis on the Dot pointing to
that announcement.

Frederik and Ingo suggested that this was unnecessary, that a single
Dot story would be just as effective, and that this structure would
make things easier for website administration.

dot.kde.org and news.kde.org point to the same content.

No, I'm not. How are translations done now? What needs to happen to
keep translations viable?

It was a suggestion to the specific players who have been involved in
release announcements previously. It is now communicated. What do we
need to do for this to work? The past 2 announcements have not had
much in the way of translations (4.8 Persian; 4.7 Estonian, Russian,
Ukrainian)

Content is needed. Sebastian has pulled this together in the past. Who
from the Release Team is doing it in his absence? Content includes
release highlights (usually one general announcement and one for each
piece - Platform, Applications, Workspace), screenshots, links.

Screenshot guidelines needed...
In the past, someone provided guidelines for screenshots (screen size,
resolution, font, default wallpaper) so that they would be consistent.
Would someone please provide these? What is the default wallpaper for
4.9 Desktop?

We collaborate in an etherpad at promo.notes.kde.org. Anybody who will
be working on the announcement needs to have access there...please
tell me if you need this.

Carl
