I know you are not doing it intentionally but you keep demonstrating the PR problem - not mailing list readers nor newspapers readers are the target audiance for this announcment. As I see that the audiance is people which are involved and care about FOSS and which the use mailing list method drives them away.
I did tell YOU about the archives. I do not know of anyone else who had any trouble using mailing lists.
You probably remember that Ram Matityahu wanted to be involved in W2L. Ram almost never uses e-mail and has no permanent address. The solution you gave him in order to enable his involvement in orgenaizing W2L was... gmail address.
If a person does not have a permanent address, then opening one is a good start.
The readers are welcome checking who involved was he thereafter (Ok, Ok, don't bother the answer is - he wasn't).
I cannot force people to become involved. More than 90% of the members and friends of Hamakor were not involved in w2l. There are many lazy people.
I write this knowing theres not even a slight chance Ram will read it but make no mistake Ram's care and scontribution shows well in the JLC and in other places. Free (as beer) advertising in FOSS related websites would have reached him and others.
Free advertising? What do you mean? We did advertise w2l on FOSS-related sites. We did put status updated on Whatsup. Why didn't YOU advertise on FOSS-related sites?
As you put many efforts in the web archieve I expected you'll announce them publiclly and get the propper credit but you didn't. Only now I undrstand why.
I did announce it as publically as I can. I sent a notice to all members and friends of Hamakor which did not unsubscribe. I told the ONE person who asked for it and I put a link on our website. Do you have any idea how much work that took. Nothing is enough to satisfy you. If you think the archives are important, why didn't YOU send a message about it to Whatsup? I AM NOT YOUR SLAVE.
