+<h1>Announcing a New Release</h1>
+
+<p>Once a release is built, it is time to announce it to the
+world. Ideally, the Announcement should be composed before the
+Release is actually built.

+
+ <b>[ Adjusting Announcement to taste ]</b><br>
+ <p>
+ <li>A prototype <code>Announcement</code> is included in
+ the main CVS source tree. This file should be updated
+ to reflect the current state of affairs concerning the
+ release. For example, the Release Version should reflect
+ what is actually being announced. Also, the key enhancements
+ of the Release should be noted.
+ <li><code>commit</code> the changes.
+
+ <hr>
+
+ <b>[ Posting the Announcement ]</b><br>
+ <p>
+ <li>First, build the source release (see below) if not already done.
+ <li>Once built, <code>Announcement</code> should be
+ posted to the following places:
+ <ul>
+ <li>UseNet newsgroups
+ <ul>
+ <li><code>comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix</code>
+ <li><code>comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows</code>
+ <li><code>comp.infosystems.www.servers.misc</code>

+ <li>Mailing Lists

+ <li><code>apache-announce@apache.org</code>
