Exactly. |

While I agree that we need a single source where users can get their |
| 13 |
information, I feel that the *user* should be able to choose their |
| 14 |
source. If that is the gentoo-announce mailing list, or www.gentoo.org, |
| 15 |
or the forums, it doesn't matter. The same information should be |
| 16 |
duplicated. |

Make them *all* a definitive source. We don't need to check all of them |
| 19 |
if any one of them gives all of the information needed. |

As for subscriber counts or whatever, if by adding the information to |
| 22 |
gentoo-announce (or the forums or wherever), we reach 10 more users that |
| 23 |
we wouldn't have reached before, then I consider it a success. The idea |
| 24 |
is to reach as many users as possible here. To me, that means |
| 25 |
duplicating the information everywhere. |
