..Sending announcements to -users doesn't seem more appropriate to me than spamming grabbed email addresses...
Same as others, I have no problem with Cocoon-related commercial announcements on our lists provided
a) sender is in some way a member of the community
b) such messages are clearly marked for example with [ANN] (or maybe a new [BIZ]) marker in the subject
c) the number of such messages stays low.
Ok, there seems to be a general consensus for this approach, which after more thinking I find finally better than "underground" uncontrolled spam.
Next question is if we consider that listing commercial resources on our website is a good thing or not. We already have a training section [1], in the "external resources" section (yes, Anyware is there), but we may want to move it to a new "commercial resources" section containing other kinds of resources (consulting, products, etc). IMO, this is as important as listing live sites, as it shows newcomers that Cocoon is a well established and widely used product for which they can find many kinds of commercial support.
Struts has such a list of external resources, but although it used to be on the Apache website, the link now points to an SF project [2] (powered by Forrest BTW)
WDYT?
