Promoting Drupal security

As many of you might remember, we setup a security announcement newsletter, a history of all security advisories, and an RSS feed with the most recent security advisories. We strongly advised Drupal administrators to sign up for the list. With the recent drupal.org survey we asked people if they are subscribed to either the Drupal newsletter or the Drupal security announcements, and if so, how. Turns out that a fair amount of survey participants were not subscribed to either mailing list (see graph, read more). Additional research showed that the security announcements page is not very popular in terms of page views and that, to date, only 850 people subscribed to the security announcements by e-mail ...

Branching in CVS

I need a quick tutorial on branching to commit fixes to previous versions. Specifically, right now rev 1.12 of pathauto_node.inc is tagged with DRUPAL-4-6, while 1.13 is the HEAD revision which has been converted for 4.7. I need to commit a fix for 4.6, but the CVS documentation has me confused on how to do it. Step-by-step, what do I do?

Thanks.

Drupal.org survey results

Three weeks ago, I launched a Drupal.org survey, the objective of which was to get feedback on the Drupal.org website and to prioritize the work we should put into improving it. The results of this survey are below.

HELP ME PLS

I installed drupal follow the instruction what given in install.txt.
I use Apache HTTP 2.0 Server, PHP 5.0. I use phpMyAdmin to set up the database already.
Everythings seems okey till i create the first account, because i create on my own computer so
i cant config the SMTP server at all.
After i create the first acc, drupal gave me a password and a button "Login" appeared. But when i click "login", the message "You are not authenticated to view this site" appeared. I checked in the database table user then my created acc was appeared.

no welcome email from Drupal.org

I've created a user account (bobanahalf) for Drupal.org, but I never got a confirmation email. That means I don't have a password, etc. Also tried to request a new password, but couldn't do that, either. Que estrano. Finally, I signed up for a username at a different Drupal site, then used that UID to log on to drupal.org.

I'd like to get the Drupal.org UID working.... Any ideas?
