Greetings.
We are going to be releasing EPEL6 soon, and would like help with the announcement. Here's a rough draft I have currently.
Any comments/corrections/re-wording/etc welcome.
--cuthere-- The Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) project is happy to announce today the release of EPEL6. The EPEL6 software collection is add on packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and other compatible systems, maintained by the community under the umbrella of the Fedora Project.
Over 2500 source packages that build into over 5600 binary rpms are included currently, limited only by maintainers eager and willing to maintain more packages. (See below to join us!)
You might want to note two things. A) It is fully compatible with RHEL 6 and does not replace or conflict with anything in the base repository and that EPEL enforces this via a policy. B) This is a community repository and not commercially supported by Red Hat.
