Thanks, Santhosh.

OK, I get the meta issue of my failure to grok the context the first time 
around...

Using the referenced article as an example, I would request that this be done 
in instances where the author is a contributor to the project. So this would 
look something along the lines of --

>[Subject] Pig as Hadoop Connector, Part One: Pig, MongoDB and Node.js
>
>[Body] Apache Pig Committer Russell Jurney has published a series on Pig as a 
>connector for Apache Hadoop. 
> 
>Apache Pig is a dataflow oriented, scripting interface to Hadoop. Pig enables 
>you to manipulate data as tuples in simple pipelines without thinking about 
>the complexities of MapReduce.
>
>But Pig is more than that. Pig has emerged as the 'duct tape' of Big Data, 
>enabling you to send data

systems, to enable you to process data from wherever and to wherever you like.

For those articles not authored by Apache Committers, then perhaps have the 
post drafted with an intro from someone within the PMC, along with the first 
paragraph (or two) as appropriate with the link. So using the Russell Jurney 
article above, it would read as:

>[Subject] Suggested Read -- Pig as Hadoop Connector, Part One: Pig, MongoDB 
>and Node.js

>[Body] The Apache Pig Project Management Committee suggests the following blog

I hope this helps! Feel free to ping me if you need anything else.
