One last thing: if any of you could be interested in writing a little blog post (to appear on e.g. your own blog with a copy on https://freshrss.org/blog.html and/or http://www.planet-libre.org) when there are new FreshRSS releases, let us know :-) @genma maybe? It can be more than one person, and in different languages.
