I have the impression that some geek mass media also monitor d-d-a as an unofficial source of (taken as) Debian press releases, so I'd be a bit cautious with that, not only DDs are reading d-d-a. Also, there's a difference between 'Every DD should/must read this' and 'I'd like to reach every DD'. We want DDs to read d-d-a with high priority (even the less active ones), so I suggest only important be posted there. The issue with -devel being too high traffic and off-topic is of course still there; the GNOME dudes seems to somehow manage that by making up new lists and more recently to vigorously silence non-developers when matters get off-topic. However, this implies that all developers are reasonably discussing on the devel list, which may be true for GNOME (most of the time), but less so for Debian :-/ Michael -- Michael Banck Debian Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.advogato.org/person/mbanck/diary.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
