Re: Publish date with announcements?

You guys don't really know me but I've used KDE since the 3.x days, worked
the KDE booth at SCALE and submitted an article for the KDE e.V.
quarterly report.
So I'm not just some guy off the street...

Please date things. Just do it. Doesn't have to be at the top but somewhere
would be appreciated.

I often read an article and think "When did this happen?" and can't find a
date.

Thank you and regards,
