Hi all, |

This is a followup on the gentoo-ebuild rhide thread, intented to be more |
| 4 |
visible than the original thread. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The gentoo-announce list currently gets a message in a month or two. IMHO |
| 7 |
it's not very useful that way. Why not open it for all developers to send |
| 8 |
announcements of medium and high importance? |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
This can include various decisions - unified ebuild style, install -> /usr, |
| 11 |
etc. and announcements of important/interesting new ebuilds and major new |
| 12 |
versions of existing ones. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I for one am tired of reading the cvs logs, and as Azarah says, most of us |
| 15 |
aren't on IRC 24/7 and can't follow all the discussions that take place. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
If you think gentoo-announce is important and should stay as-is, we can |
| 18 |
create a new list for this. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
In my view the optimal volume would be around 1 message per day, sometimes 2, |
| 21 |
with the messages being short and succint and any discussions taking place on |
| 22 |
a different list (gentoo-dev, -user, or the team lists). |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
What do you think? |
