God yes, I need more spam! Especially targeted spam. Can we make sure those [ADV] Mobutu in South Africa wants to send you 10,000,000 for safe keeping get through to the lists? Well at least if Mobutu agrees to support Apache software as well as send me 10mil?
Sun Micro, has a page of "here are Java companies" -- lets "innovate" it and put up a similar Jakarta page -- Here are companies and folks who support Apache Jakarta software. I volunteer. Secondly, lets Make a rule NOT to post advertising to the mail lists, that is NOT what they are there for. This does a few things: 1. Provides a good rationale to companies to use Apache Jakarta Software (not a specific goal of the group but a personal goal of several people here including myself as I like working with GOOD software) 2. Gives those companies a place to post thats relevant to Jakarta, won't annoy people who might otherwise use them. 3. Give those companies a high visability web page to advertise on. 4. God I don't need more spam. My spam filter entries will one day reach the limit on the number of strings I can match on. -Andy Jeff Turner wrote: >On Mon, May 13, 2002 at 02:04:20PM +0200, Nicola Ken Barozzi wrote: >.. > > >>>Perhaps we should just adopt a simple subject line convention, [ADV] for >>>adverts, to go with [ANN] for announcements. >>> >>> >>I've noticed too that the annoumcement list stuff gets CCd to other lists. >> >>How about having all content sent to that list be automatically CCd to >>general lists with [ANN]? >> >> > >To spell out this idea: any mail that gets sent to announcements@jakarta >is forwarded to general@ with "[ANN]" prepended to it's subject >(possibly stripping any existing [ANN] variants). > >Same with [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >That's kinda nice.
