Hi Gang, this work is complete, as is the general purpose Announce plugin. Twitter, Snarl, and Ubuntu notifications all work. The userguide was updated as well. We might work just a little bit more on the user guide to make it nicer. The pull request was sent from github: http://github.com/madmarkus/gradle
Contact hamletdrc@gmail.com if you need any changes or questions answered.

As announced on the Gradle blog we are planning to completely migrate issues from JIRA to GitHub.

We intend to prioritize issues that are actionable and impactful while working more closely with the community. Many of our JIRA issues are inactionable or irrelevant. We would like to request your help to ensure we can appropriately prioritize JIRA issues you’ve contributed to.

Please confirm that you still advocate for your JIRA issue before December 10th, 2016 by:

• Checking that your issues contain requisite context, impact, behaviors, and examples as described in our published guidelines.
• Leave a comment on the JIRA issue or open a new GitHub issue confirming that the above is complete.

We look forward to collaborating with you more closely on GitHub. Thank you for your contribution to Gradle!

Release are announced on the handle https://twitter.com/gradle.
