push vs. pull example: we are having this conversation and the information I'm sending its pushed into your mailbox. I could post this information on a weblog and then point you to it, but, in my experience, the chance that you will read it is much lower. another reason is asynchronicity. if I push it in your mailboxes, you carry it with you. maybe on a train, as it was already noted. Sure, you can download stuff from the web and carry it with you but it *requires* effort from your part. Again, the chance that you will do it is much lower. This is what I would like to see: 1) the ASF publishes a newsletter (following the very nice style used in the recent Jakarta one) that covers all the ASF endevours. Including infrastructure, licensing, security, incubation and all the non-so-project stuff. 2) the newsletter is sent to announce@apache.org 3) the newsletter is then archived on www.apache.org/newsletter/[date] What do you think? -- Stefano. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
