Thanks Vlad for the advice and the link. Looking back at prior releases,
the 1.9.0 announcement (by Sudheesh) was also sent to the
[email protected], but then he got feedback like "What's this project
about?" and "Why should I care?" , so the following announcements avoided
the Apache general list.
The link does suggest " put 3-5 lines blurb for the project. " , which
could address such feedbacks.
We should try and compose a good "blurb" first.
