I see that many other projects have an official announce list. This would be used for official public communications:
1) New releases 2) New services 3) New blog posts 4) Security patches 5) Expected downtime 6) Migration updates The idea would be for it to be low-volume but with high membership. If possible via ezmlm, it would be a read-only list except for moderators. Content for posting would first be discussed and approved on ooo-dev before going out on the announce list. Some might say that we could just do this via existing ooo-dev or ooo-user lists, but the higher traffic on those lists is too much for someone who wants only the most important notices. If we do have an optional registration screen in the 3.4 install, maybe this is the list we offer to sign users up for. If there are no objections to this list, I'll need a few things: 1) Verification that such a read-only list is possible 2) A few moderator volunteers -- noting that the moderator role in this case is more of an assist to help publish PPMC-approved content to the list. -Rob
