If not then can a new newsgroup be setup for just such announcements.  That 
way the users get the best of both worlds, and developers which is what makes 
this device go round can have a place to let others know their product has 
gotten better.

Please don't feel offended. Keep sending your email, many read them.

I wanted to stress the point that no matter if you send them to the list
or not please do keep your garage projects updated using the news tool
there.

You had posted an email but not published the corresponding news in your
project, which was my original point/recommendation/suggestion. You had
been doing this in the past, publishing in both spaces at the same time,
good. I thought it could be good to mention this in order to give some
publicity to the feature so users and developers use it more. 

That's all. Sorry for the confusion. Garage is yours, the mailing lists
are yours. Use them as you think they are best. You are the developers,
we try to serve you.

Hi Quim, 

I do not agree. I think that a users mailing list is a good
location, with others, to announce new versions of applications.
All 200 projects will never announce in the same time. All people
doesn't survey maemo.org to find new releases.

But as you want, and even if I think that it's an error, the new
releases will not be any more announced on this list.

Hi,

As you have seen now the http://maemo.org homepage features the news
coming from http://garage.maemo.org, that are written directly by the
project maintainers. Users can subscribe to feeds and be the first ones
to know.

Garage project maintainers, please make sure all your relevant updates
are reflected there with as much detail as possible. The GForge
interface is not the best in the world to publish news and receive
feedback but it does both. As usual, please submit feature requests if
you miss something.

Sending emails to the mailing lists for new releases can't be considered
off topic but with >200 projects in Garage (and growing) it is clear
that it's not a sustainable practice in the mid term.

Thanks for your understanding (and yes, specifically Claws mail project
tends to publish news - I just needed an example to raise this topic).
:)
