I think ReactOS would finnally be recognized by slashdot if enough people were submitting the same information. It may simply be a stubborness to only post items that they belive are of interest to people. I would assume the best way to do this would be to independantly submit the news to both slashdot and newsforge. Don't just assume that someone else has already submitted, so just go ahead and submit it again and this way it will finally show up on the radar.
Another thing that may be interfering is that if the slashdot reviewers didn't think the news submission was dorky/nerdy or otherwise not up to their standard, they would most likely reject the article, even if the topic was something they would normally post about. If you have ever submitted a story once and later you see someone else made the posting for the same story, you can probably assume they probably would choose the best one out of a list.
Well, maybe we should just wait for the next big release. Imho, this release isn't much of news. I mean, $program runs, nice, but not very interesting (no pun intended, i'm not saying it isn't a great achievement). If tcp/ip works, and reactos is quite stable, now _that_'s news. Just wait for the next big thing to happen with ReactOS, and submit to slashdot again then, and then maybe from multiple independent people.
