+To create the countdown announcement, use the
+@code{make-countdown-announcement.sh} script, which takes the
+deadline date, and optionally your name. Follow the instructions
+provided:
+@example
+cd $LILYPOND_BUILD_DIR
+../scripts/auxiliar/make-countdown-announcement.sh "Jan 1, 2001" James
+@end example
-Cheers,
-Colin
+The script produces an announcement that is easily readable in all
+email clients. Also, whenever a new contributor submits a patch,
+you will be prompted to add the new username and author name to
+the script itself, and then commit those changes to the main git
+repository.
