Hello. First time posting; hope the message isn't ugly. |

|

Anyway, from a generic point of view, I think the different suggestions |
4 |
mentioned are all nice. One argument that seems to have cropped up in the latter |
5 |
messages regards those users who do not keep up with news, break their system |
6 |
and then cry. To this I say, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make |
7 |
him drink". The purpose, imo, for the new methods of pushing out news info is |
8 |
not to reach every single user. It's about pushing more info out and in more |
9 |
meaningful ways; a two-fold problem. |
10 |
|
11 |
Pushing out important info is, I'd sincerely hope, something everyone hear can |
12 |
agree is a good thing. Pushing out more is debatable due to quality versus |
13 |
quantity proportions, but given quality as being high and consistent, pushing |
14 |
more news is a good idea. |
15 |
|
16 |
This leaves how to propagate messages meaningfully. Yes, gentoo has many niche |
17 |
groups that keep up with a small portion (in the overall sense) of news. |
18 |
Creating (or beefing up an existing medium) a common, general place for |
19 |
information is a good thing. But, this shouldn't mean it's a replacement. Just a |
20 |
central location. |
21 |
|
22 |
Basically, the aforementioned methods presented in the thread are interesting |
23 |
and would be nice to have. You can't reach everyone, but the point should be in |
24 |
reaching more in a more effective way. |
