Maybe, we should have another command in cabal-install, something like "cabal announce", that would post an announcement to [email protected]?

I always only announce things on haskell-cafe. What list is the "main
haskell list"?

This is the description of the Haskell mailing list:
"[email protected] (read & search via gmane)
      Announcements, discussion openers, technical questions.
      [email protected] is intended to be a low-bandwidth list, to
      which it is safe to subscribe without risking being buried in
      email. If a thread becomes longer than a handful of messages,
      please transfer to [email protected]."

All announcements should go to [email protected] if nowhere else. In practice, it is probably best to post to both haskell and haskell- cafe
and this is what most people do.

Hmm, interesting, I've never bothered subscribing to that list.  I
assumed it was a moderated announcement list that I wouldn't be able
to post to myself, i.e. it would be a one-way list only.  My
assumption was most likely based on my experience with Debian
announcement lists.

I have a hard time seeing a point in having that list:

- there should be no discussions on the list, and
- people suggest that announcements be X-posted to haskell-cafe.

Hmm, so what is posted to [email protected] that a subscriber to
haskell-cafe would be inerested in?
