I've been looking at the OLPC wiki, to see what we are advising contributors to sign up for: * http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Developers_program#Project_Hosting points to http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Project_hosting which says subscribe to devel@ when asking for project hosting. * http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Developers_program#Expectations_of_Recipients points to http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Developers/Communication#Minimum_Communication_Requirements which says subscribe to community-news@ and [EMAIL PROTECTED] So IMO the sugar list is more relevant, but the devel list is more likely to reach everyone. Cross-posting to every list all the time seems counter to netiquette, and as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting says, "if all messages were crossposted to every group, then every group would look exactly the same." What I want out of this discussion is a clear recommendation for activity authors to subscribe to a particular place that we can count on, to the extent that that is possible.
