I've discussed this with Joey and we've formulated a plan to move this discussion forward. We propose to implement the specification described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuNews by shutting down the fridge-devel and marketing-team-submissions lists and transferring subscriptions to the new ubuntu-news-team list. I will liaise with Martin to make sure that this is as smooth as possible - it is key that we ensure that people accustomed to writing to the fridge-devel mailing list are inconvenienced as little as possible. I'm copying this email to the marketing team for their information. The debate among the Fridge team at the moment is whether a single list to discuss all news related issues will be satisfactory in circumstances where the Fridge team occasionally uses their mailing list to discuss specific technical issues relating to the UI. Joey and myself suggest that we proceed on the basis of the spec as it is now, and then after it has been in operation for a few weeks, reassess the position about whether a separate mailing list is necessary. That way we can debate to our hearts' content about this question, but the debate doesn't remain a blocker on the spec being progressed. I've updated the spec to reflect this. Please holler if you have any questions or objections. -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
