@ -24,22 +24,36 @@ Starting over, again:
- **Artifacts** - generating binaries, zip files, github releases etc.
- **Publishing** - uploading, pushing, making visible, finalising
- **Announcing** - various announcement stages and channels
- All releases must now be made from a release branch, for uniformity and to avoid mishaps like uploading unreleased code to hackage.
