Maybe I'm missing the point. First of all, what do you mean by "dl"?
Secondly, and maybe this is being pedantic or something, but why would
someone brand new to the list need to know how to post a thread that
says, "Hey I found a new site that uses jQuery"?
It seems like a pretty basic thing. Also, if they read the list they'll
see similar postings and just follow suit. Otherwise they do it "wrong"
once or twice and someone on the list gently points out the community
established format for that particular type of post. Easy. Done.
Doesn't really need to be more complicated than that. IMO anything else
would be overkill.
Also, I was being mostly factitious about using a long subject like
that. I think Rey's suggestions are fine. :o)

Chris,
How is a new user going to know to do that on the front side? Your
creating a "dl" interface language just to use the list! LOL, now that
is a bit crazy. IMO it's not the number of words it's that it takes a
good cause in a complicated direction. One of the virtues of jQuery is
not being overloaded with un-needed functions. (Now should we turn
around and develop the dl in the opposite direction?) Keep it simple
is my thought.

Also, you can't really get more self explainitory than "SITE
SUBMISSION: blah". Well, maybe you could with "SITES THAT USE JQUERY:
blah"

Good feedback John. Our primary method of communication at the
moment is the mailing list so what I'd like to see is everyone
nicely give a nudge to anyone that doesn't submit a site using the
prefix. Eventually, most folks will catch on and we can tackle those
that aren't aware on a case-by-case basis.
Rey...

New users won't know this and posts will get lost and confused over
night. Which means we will have to ignore the heading also.
Better solution... multiple lists or a forum. (I believe we have
forgot the value of Newsgroups and Forums and try to do to much on
discussion lists.)

Hey guys,
I usually take care of site submissions and I do my best to stay
on top of it. I've found that I've missed a couple of submissions
to the list as they got mixed in with others and I just overlooked
it.
So I would like to propose a prefix for any site submissions that
would allow me to create a message filter and catch them
accordingly. I'm thinking something like this:
SITE SUBMISSION: The rest of the subject line
an example would be:
SITE SUBMISSION: Please jQuery.com to the list of sites
or
SITE SUBMISSION: LearningjQuery.com uses jQuery
Tell me what you think.
