I disagree; but it's partly because we'd like to repurpose opensolaris-announce. The problem is there is no site-wide mandatory subscription list currently, so there is no way to announce things like site outages, or community-impacting announcements (such as the new community or project instantiation policies). We'd like to repurpose opensolaris-announce and have it be a mandatory subscription for *every* registered user on opensolaris.org. However, a mandatory list that is too "noisy" sucks for those users. So we'd like to have project-announce be used for that. cheers, steve -- stephen lau // stevel at sun.com | 650.786.0845 | http://whacked.net opensolaris // solaris kernel development
