Hello all Sorry for the late reply. I have renamed the announcement draft to match the usual format: https://salsa.debian.org/publicity-team/announcements/blob/master/en/2018/20180601.wml also removed the short "About Debian" paragraph, and removed the comment lines that we use as "help" for writing announcements.

I have committed our proposal: https://salsa.debian.org/publicity-team/announcements/commit/cd98c0779d59f22ab66d401d21f7bf5ec0ce0f62 <p>Debian will not provide further security updates for Debian 7. A - subset of Wheezy packages will be supported by Freexian though. Detailed - information can be found at <a href="https://deb.freexian.com/extended-lts";> + subset of Wheezy packages will be supported by external parties. Detailed + information can be found at <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/ExtendedLTS";> Extended LTS</a>.</p> Our proposal would be that you (or us, but you know better the details) create the https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/ExtendedLTS with a similar format as the https://wiki.debian.org/LTS page, including timeline, link to Freexian, and maybe explain that it is not in Debian infrastructure but all the Debian users can benefit of the work... This way, we keep in the announcement the focus on end-of-life of Wheezy LTS, and yes, we add one click for the interested people, but IMO that's also a good filter to avoid misunderstandings for other readers, and an opportunity to explain more things or explain then better, in the wiki page. What do you think? Kind regards, -- Laura Arjona Reina https://wiki.debian.org/LauraArjona
