The reason I ask is with the advent of
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and the move to make
[EMAIL PROTECTED] a mandatory subscription for all
registered users; the OGB would like to move project delivery
announcements (e.g.: ON b67 is now available!) off of
opensolaris-announce, and onto project/community-specific discussion
lists.
I'm not sure I follow what the intention is for those of us who might
want to hear about milestones from other projects without following
their entire discussion list - would the example "ON b67 is available"
announcement be going to project-announce?
No, the idea is for project-announce to only be used for new project
announcements. Milestone announcements should go to the
project-specific list (e.g.: on-announce or something for "ON b67 is
available").
Seems awfully low volume to have bothered with a separate list - ~2
messages per week based on historical activity? Seems to me like we're
fragmenting where it's not needed. Does this mean that
opensolaris-announce is reserved for OGB announcements then?
Is it common for people to want to hear about milestones from projects
without following the discussion list? I admit, that's not something I
do so it's not something I had thought of. Would people be interested
in having something like a [EMAIL PROTECTED] list or
something?
So, maybe I'm weird (though I am on lots of project lists already, which
is only possible with an extensive set of mail filters which I'd prefer
not to keep growing). But I think your proposed model presents a
barrier to getting people interested in projects that may not have been
of interest when they were first announced. It's my perception most of
them (Indiana *not* included) could use more publicity to help get
energy and attention directed to solving the problems, rather than
aimless conversations here on opensolaris-discuss - I'd actually like to
be seeing *more* announcements of progress from projects than we
currently get...
