Why don't you see http://www.apachenews.org/ ??
For example, the "Mailet 2.4 release" news is here: http://www.apachenews.org/archives/001213.html Information from DOAP files are included, so more useful than the announcement (e-mail) itself. Sincerely, Tetsuya Kitahata P.S. Lucene 2.4.0 release news you mentioned were put here: http://www.apachenews.org/archives/001193.html ---- > Hello, > > General announcement question I have. I like getting announcem...@jakarta > emails, as it allows me to passively keep abreast of new releases. What I > like even more is when announcements have a link to release notes of some > kind, so I can have a look at and quickly get an idea about the project's > direction, velocity, focus, maturity, etc. without being intimately familiar > with the project. > > For example, I just got an email about Mailet 2.4 release, but there was no > link to release notes or a JIRA link that might show what was done between > 2.3 and 2.4.
