Because it's an aggregated recap of 2 weeks worth of list activity. I
agree, some will choose to bypass it, but I think some would welcome it too.
Well, I'm really interested in the roll-ups for those lists
that I'm *not* on. There are a number of lists that I wouldn't
mind keeping an eye on, but not at the level of a full
subscription. These sort of roll-up posts would be an ideal way
of making sure that if something really interesting did come up
then I wouldn't miss it completely.
In olden times, mailing lists offered you the regular or digest
(all batched up) view. What I really want is to subscribe to
the weekly roll-up option for a set of lists...
+1 - this sort of autogenerated summary...
BTW, they're still not quite autogenerated. It took me about an hour to
post the last batch (12 of them I think).
should really have a separate mailing list....
When it comes to the idea of creating a separate list for this, I agree
with Ignacio that we should be as conservative as possible about
creating additional lists on opensolaris.org, and in light of the
alternative suggestions here, creating a new list doesn't seem justified
IMO.
and RSS feed,
In case anyone missed the post I made a while back, an RSS feed exists here:
http://del.icio.us/rss/bootblog/oss:rollups
(RSS is the easy part of all this because no matter what we end up
doing, the unique URL of each report can be tagged on Delicious... or
Furl, or whatever.)
rather than sending them to the original
mailing lists since that's the actual point of doing them in the first
place ;)
I still think a lot of people would welcome them being posted to their
respective lists -- especially since they'll only come in twice a month
and the title will be easy to recognize and pattern-match.

People who aren't interested in certain lists can easily filter out in
their mail client.
For example, we have commit hooks in GNOME so that *all* commits to
cvs.gnome.org get sent to a mailing list [1]. It's a seriously great way
of keeping in touch with development - I filter out a bunch of stuff
that I don't care about.
