a lot of people contributed this month: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/index.php?title=XMPP_Newsletter_January_2020&action=history thanks a lot everybody, merci ! :)

Nÿco: too late to include this advisory? https://github.com/ThomasLeister/prosody-filer/security/advisories/GHSA-qmfx-75ff-8mw6

Licaon_Kter: +1

ok, so what should our policy be? my untold policy was: a news/info/release published a month is covered by the newsletter at the beginning of the next month can this be kept? and we do an exception for alerts?

I think the last one is okay. but you are discussing to alter the previous newsleter after release?

I'm also in favor of including security stuff to reach the most people possible

But I wonder if changes to a release version make sense?

I don't know about security advisories they should be released/published/relayd as soon as they arrive here, we only do a curation process, which happens once a month, so an alter could be one month old, which does not serve the purpore

But wait, go a step back, this is a Newsletter

We are not a security ticker

a newsletter published should not be touched, for be, because it is not reposted/re-relayed

I agree @emus

Of course we should inform about it, but we shouldnt spam. we rather can provide or collected background ibformation about it

a summary of last month alerts is... well... not very useful

I would release important cases or refer to a ticker we run ourselfs seprarately

it is our duty as a commteam, but the newsletter is not the right vehicle

Sometimes there are also blog posts with more ibfornation, could be put also in there

> it is our duty as a commteam, but the newsletter is not the right vehicle Yes, maybe we need an extra tracker

The newsletter can inform about the trackers exisitence

https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/XMPP_Newsletter_January_2020 is copywritten, empty sections cleaned up

I'll go on git now

(just added the translations)

> (just added the translations) What fo you meant?

sorry, not clear: in the current January newsletter, I have added links to translations of the previous newsletter

https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/667 is ready for your reviews!
