You mean like [email protected]? Cuz thats what [email protected] is for. [email protected] is for daily discussion that goes beyond a meeting and beyond IRC. Good point though. The e-mail signup sheet had a checkbox for announcements only. I don't think that was mentioned. Granted, our discuss list has really super picked up in the last few weeks.
