[announcement] Automatic /TR publishing

Dear Editors,

We're pleased to announce the alpha release of the automatic publishing
system:
 https://labs.w3.org/echidna/

For its first release, it allows the publishing of W3C Working
Drafts any day of the week, using a simple API:
 https://github.com/w3c/echidna/wiki/How-to-use-Echidna

We are limiting this initially to some early adopters but will want to
increase volume of documents from varied groups over time.  Please let
us know if your group is interested and we will get back to you.

Additional Notes

data-editor-id requirement:

As part of this system, a new requirement has been added for those
documents:
[[
Specberus (the replacement for the current pubrules checker) will expect
you to add editor ids in your document. You can find those using
myprofile [3], which gets redirected to
https://www.w3.org/users/[USER_ID]. This is the id associated with the
W3C account of the individual, such as '56102', and it needs to appear
in the markup:

<dd data-editor-id="6457">plh</dd>
]]

Current limitations:

Note that we have a few limitations in v1:
[[
* only ordinary Working Drafts (no FPWD, LC, CR, PR, or REC)
* previous version must be a FPWD or ordinary WDs
* only HTML5 documents
* no multiple deliverers (no joint Working Groups deliverables)
* only normative documents
* only documents published under the August 1, 2014 process document
]]

Planning for future releases isn't written yet and will depend on the
feedback received for v1.

Thank you,

Denis Ah-Kang,
Jeremie Astori,
Ted Guild,
Philippe Le Hegaret,
Antonio Titos.
