Hhhmm... I see what you mean. Well, some of those emails would be considered "noise" by most people at discuss. Like this one:
---//--- Email Start --//--
http://specs.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=announce&msgNo=108
---//--- The replacement representations for encrypted OOo files have changed.
They are now more application neutral.
Find the specification here: http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/desktop_integration/ooo_file_thumbnails.sxw ---//--- Email End --//--
Who knows, maybe someone does feel strongly about these changes ...
But others would actually be quite valuable here. For example:
---//--- Email Start --//-- http://specs.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=announce&msgNo=104 --//---- Title : Desktop Menu Integration
Location: http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/menus/desktop_menu_integration.sxw
Status : final
Abstract:
In modern graphical user interface there are several standard mechanisms for a user to launch an application, such as menu items in the Start/Launch menu or a (double) click on a document specific to that application. OpenOffice.org 2.0 provides these mechanisms as well.
Comments: The start menu for Windows has been redefined. ---//--- Email End --//--
This would be an email that would be good to have on discuss. The abstract is clear and non-techncial.
The quickstarter case is another example of something that can be expressed in a similarly non-technical email. The email could then link to the specification, just like this one did.
Actually the quickstarter is specified in this exact specification (the Desktop Menu Integration one). It is just too small a detail (relatively) to be mentioned in the abstract...
Ciao, Joerg
