It would be great if emerge --news displayed the same news as www.g.o. |
| 14 |
|

I don't see www.g.o on its own solving the problem of getting news out |
| 16 |
to all our users. How are you going to tell them that www.g.o and |
| 17 |
gentoo-announce now carries much more news? Post the news on there, or |
| 18 |
in GWN, the forums, this mailing list, etc etc? Aren't those the very |
| 19 |
places where we've already learned that not enough of our users look? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I started this discussion because I've experienced that the percentage |
| 22 |
of users who read our existing news outlets isn't high enough to reach |
| 23 |
many of them in the first place ;-) |
