They are permitted on leaf-announce because we don't have a security list. Larger projects usually have separate lists for security advisories and announcements. Example: http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/subscribe debian-announce debian-security-announce > I suspect what you had in mind when you said "and/or" was that important > stuff, including, but not limited to, security advisories, should go to > leaf-announce, and less important stuff, like announcements of interesting > potential LEAF hardware platforms, should be website posts. That is not what I had in mind. The person making the announcement needs to decide the target audience. Our mailing lists reach a different set of users than our web site. Note: our web site provides an RDF news feed, and it's syndicated. http://syndic8.com/feedinfo.php?FeedID=7207 > That just wasn't clear from your statement, I hope this message clarifies matters. > and I was hoping people wouldn't > get the wrong idea, since we're trying to correct the underuse of > leaf-announce for its intended purpose. I understand your desire to have a functional announce list. I created it in the hope it would be useful. It hasn't to date, but not for lack of trying on my part. I was redirecting posts from our other lists to leaf-announce, and rewriting web site announcements for a while. Thanks for your feedback. BTW, regarding bugs: Bugs are reported on leaf-user or in our SF project bug tracker. Then corrected in cvs, and noted in a changlog of each release. You can monitor all steps of this process if you want to. -- Mike Noyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ http://leaf-project.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Dice - The leading online job board for high-tech professionals.
