Whilst I'm not totally against a footer per say the enabling of the footer without a vote or much discussion on the content is what is most against the Apache way in my view. If the point of the change is to game Google then I would be very surprised if Google actually farmed mailing lists sites for urls. Sending few 100,000 emails to a list to gain page rank sounds like something Google would have already caught on to. If we are to have a footer I would at least suggest the following two links on both lists. The number of people that ask how to unsubscribe is > 0 so having the details in the email would be most useful. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <list>-unsubscr...@qpid.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: <list>-h...@qpid.apache.org As for having the project name and url my quick look through the mailing lists I'm subscribed to go both ways (for those that have footers). For me it really a burning issue more a waste of my Gmail storage as Gmail will automatically hide the footer.
