My personal experience: There are a few people registered to annou...@apache.org, but there is a low registration rate for the respective subproject lists. At least not for most projects.
Thus said: if you would create an announce list for all projects and send the ANN mails only to those lists, then only 30% of the audience will receive it. Some projects don't even maintain separated dev and users lists. Thus I believe forcing an ann list for each and every project is an overkill. Oh, and while we are at it: some a.o projects have users@project.a.o (plural) and others have user@project.a.o (singular). We should at least unify this for the upcoming podlings pretty please ;) just my $2E-2 LieGrue, strub ----- Original Message ----- > From: Luciano Resende <luckbr1...@gmail.com> > To: general@incubator.apache.org > Cc: > Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 7:14 PM > Subject: Re: Creating announce@ lists by default > > On Wed, Mar 27, 2013 at 10:23 AM, Luciano Resende <luckbr1...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> On Wed, Mar 27, 2013 at 10:19 AM, Noah Slater <nsla...@apache.org> > wrote: >>> So we just set out a policy for podlings to follow that says something >>> like: if you use a project-specific announce@ list, anything you send > to it >>> must also be copied to annou...@apache.org, and vice-versa. >>> >>> This is how I expect all announce lists to be used. >>> >>> >> >> Is there a way to automate what you just said ?
