[OSM-talk] New mailing list - annou...@openstreetmap.org

2009-10-06 Thread Jonathan Bennett
Another new mailing list has been created: annou...@openstreetmap.org

You can subscribe here:

http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/announce

Announce is a moderated list limited to announcements about OSM
services, new software versions and any other really, really important
news that affects the whole community.

This will be a low-volume, no-chatter list that should be safe to
subscribe to, even for the smallest of mailbox allowances.

Sysadmins, maintainers: Please mail announce when you release new
versions or plan downtime.

Thanks,

Jonathan

I welcome this addition.

To keep this low volume and to facilitate discussion on the subjects of 
the posts in the correct place, would it be conducive if the senders 
recommend an appropriate forum, maybe even starting a discussion thread 
in said forum?

Cheers

It's a moderated forum, so they moderator will either be overwhelmed by junk 
postings or allow only suitable individuals to post.
So a note in any mail which will point to the place where discussion is 
expected would be helpful.
