Re: GNUnet 0.20.0 released

Still, writing both the email AND the news post is tedious, so it would 
be nice to only write it once, from a template, and then generate both.
Or generate one out of the other, without having to actually send HTML 
email.

That being said, I would actually prefer to only send the link to the 
news entry, even for major releases. That is the simplest solution.
