* reading a mailing list should not be required in the first place * asking people to play switchboard operator is asking for things to fall through the cracks * people who are interested in and involved with a given technology are usually already aware of what's going on, and where they aren't it's because those technologies are not publicized in a place they know where to look (so we need a centralized place to publish this info in a non-transient fashion) which is to say, there is no need for the role of a release manager, email is a bad idea as a transport and we should concentrate on ways to get the people doing the work to be directly informed and directly available. -- Aaron J.
