Just a small question. Should the emails on that wiki be in plain
sight for everyone? I understand it could be helpful and pleasant to
be able to email everyone easily, but this way the emails can also
easily be harvested.
Well, in my opinion, harvesting emails from a markdown page is of
course easy, but bear in mind, the same people can just do a "git log"
and get more or less the same information (in reality more qualified
email adresses, than the wiki page).
People could and I'm not sure if they'd be interested, and I don't wanna
give any ideas, but I already have now.
Or you did ;-).
And only you can know, my email is yet not on any public git list. I do
know..... some times are also getting targetted by e.g. Indian web
hosting providers.
When this happens it is targetted spam. It seems targetted or
targettable spam lists are more valuable; e.g. some spam only ever
arrives on a certain kind of address that have been used for certain
services (that then sold them or got hacked (probably the former
mostly)). So if anyone did target a git log, they would do so for
specific reasons.
However a blatantly available web page.... again I don't know if such
"general" email addresses are still worth anything today.
Not a bad thought, you are most welcome to go ahead and do something
like that on the Developers page.
Okay I will see if I can, but I have a million projects that are *also*
not getting a foot on the ground ;-) (because it is broken) so don't
count on it happening within the space of whatever ;-).
Everything is easy once you have made the investment. Making
investments, however, is what you need to be picky in, usually.
Regards.
