hello! Now, I published the first newsletter and I felt as if a load had been taken off my shoulders. So, I can write what I wanted to say. (If I jumped into the conversation occurred here in the early this month, this first newsletter would *never* be published, my character taken into consideration)

As I worried, I could not hear from HTTP Server Project, PHP, etc. at last. Sure, if we can not hear any news from HTTP Server, PHP in the future, [EMAIL PROTECTED] or whatever would seem to me to be the most appropriate address, i am sure. I made frantic efforts to gather the news from various projects this time. Gicen only Java-XML scope, it will lighten the load of the editors and efficient, i know. Going against the time is one of attractive choice for me. Also, I noticed that announce@apache.org : 7400 subscribers announcements@jakarta.apache.org : 5200 subscribers general@jakarta.apache.org : 750 subscribers community@apache.org : 150 subscribers (approximately) ... <digression>geronimo: over 600 </digression> ... This fact means that announce@apache.org [1] is for the HTTP Server user (mainly): announcements@jakarta.apache.org [2] is for the jakarta/xml user. , I guessed. In this situation, probably using announce@apache.org is not a good idea. I know that java-minded guys join to [2] and tend not to [1]. I am rather "marketer". I want to do the "efficient" marketing, I mean, evangelize the developers' effort efficiently to the end users promptly and appropriately. If I found that the announce@apache.org is not a good idea, I would be willing to change my style and way. -- I want to hear your all suggestions. (To tell the truth, what i wanted to do the most was publishing *xml/ws/java* scope newsletter, especially XML) Could you please, please tell me how I can evangelize the developers' effort efficiently to the end users. I thought announce@ *is* the suitable place for this, but maybe it was not. -- > I wasn't terribly impressed by the amount of advertising that went on - the > fact that terra-intl.com was pimped at least thrice left a very sour taste > in my mouth.
