Time is ticking, and the release isn't on sourceforge's list of new releases yet. Freshmeat needs to be notified, as well as osnews.com, slashdot.org, betanews.com. The webpage still says the latest release is 0.2.1.

It's already on osnews.com, slashdot rejects stories about ReactOS,
don't know about betanews.com. Seems you are caching www.reactos.com
somewhere, I can see the 0.2.2 announcement on our home page.

Yes they seem to not be able to understand that cloning windows is as
logical as cloning Unix.

I have a major interview coming up that is worthy of being slashdotted
that covers alot of the work we have done with WINE and ReactOS as well
as the "why the hell do you want to clone Windows" discussion. It
should be posted in a few days. Once it is up someone needs to submit
it to slashdot.

Thanks
Steven

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.

Perhaps a general strategy could be formulated so we can secure a sufficient amount of attention.

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.

They probably can't think of any dorky comments to say about it, so they 
find some other way to boost their noise-to-signal ratio.

Someone needs to update Freshmeat.net, the screen shots there are over a year
old.

Does anyone notice the strange behavior of the file explorer?
I'm sorry I haven't fully installed the rc's (shame on me) but it's very
different, less usable than the csv builds.

Extra info:
Vmware install from iso.
Haven't yet installed vmware drivers.
