I can hardly agree more with Dirk's view. I think we should have an apache-wide newsletter and deliver it thru announce@apache.org once a month. At apachecon one of the most packed sessions is always the explaination about all the different projects in one confy session. This newsletter tells people about the "status quo" without having to shop around for info. I think it would be a great tool to increase crosspollination and awareness even for people inside the ASF (me first!) -- Stefano. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
