+strongly recommend using the (moderated) general GNU announcements
+list, @email{info-gnu@@gnu.org}. Doing so makes it easier for users
+and developers to find the latest GNU releases. On the other hand,
+please do not announce test releases on @code{info-gnu} unless it's a
+highly unusual situation.
+
+@cindex @url{http://planet.gnu.org}
+@cindex Savannah, news area
+Please also post release announcements in the news section of your
+Savannah project site. It is fine to also write news entries for test
+releases and any other newsworthy events. The news feeds from all GNU
+projects at savannah are aggregated at @url{http://planet.gnu.org}
+(GNU Planet). You can also post items directly, or arrange for feeds
+from other locations; see contact information on the GNU Planet web
+page.
+
+@cindex announcement mailing list, project-specific
+You can maintain your own mailing list (typically
+@email{info-@var{program}@@gnu.org}) for announcements as well if you
+like. For your own list, of course you decide as you see fit what
+events are worth announcing. (@xref{Mail}, for more suggestions on
+handling mail for your package.)
+
+@cindex contents of announcements
+When writing an announcement, please include the following:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+A very brief description (a few sentences at most) of the general
+purpose of your package.
+
+@item
+Your package's web page (normally
+@indicateurl{http://www.gnu.org/software/@var{package}/}).
+
+@item
+Your package's download location (normally
+@indicateurl{http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/@var{package}/}). It is also
+useful to mention the FTP mirror list at
+@url{http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html}, and that
+@url{http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/@var{package/}} will automatically
+redirect to a nearby mirror.
