"news and announcements about the foundation and its projects. Announcements of major software releases, new projects, and other important news are included." What I really wanted originally was to use the archives of this list to create an apache-news webpage that would list all the important events of the foundation. I figured that few people would really want to subscribe, but many people might want to browse the history to see what apache was up to. Of course, as has been mentioned the last time this discussion came up, very few projects ever posted to the list, and I gave up nagging people about it long ago. > tetsuya has a lot of energy, and i think we are seeing the common > decay into inertia and conservatism common to groups as they grow > and age. imho, we should work against this tendency, and seek to > empower people (or at least help them find appropriate ways to > use all that energy) rather than stifle them with policies and > bureaucracy. Nicely said. A community is (at least) a two way street.
