Hi,

I originally sent this request only to the caiman alias, but it applies to pkg and install as well (and others).

It would be extremely convenient (and avoid lots of "Why did this break?" messages) if there were a Flag Day/Heads Up page for each project... perhaps there needs to be a general solution for all of OpenSolaris?
If nothing else, perhaps project that have flag days to announce should have a <project>-announce list for that sort of thing, rather than polluting the discuss list where they're easy to overlook?

The first complaint I hear every time someone mentions another mailing list is "I don't want to have to subscribe to another mailing list" :)

It's pretty common (within Sun, at least) to make announce lists opt- out rather than opt-in... that is, if you subscribe to -discuss, you'd be subscribed to -announce automatically, but can unsubscribe from both separately. Don't know if mailman supports that though, admittedly.

Cheeri,
Calum.
