 I do e-mail spi-general with the info about 2 weeks in advance.

Why would I look for announcements on the list for General
discussions related to Software in the Public Interest
rather than the one labelled Software in the Public Interest
announcements?

 [...] It's about time I learn how to edit the SPI site, I suppose.

If you find out, please add it to the site. I have no idea where to
send a patch against what to. I see the cookiemonster CMSes are
discussed on spi-general, which would bar some, but it would be
nice to know what's currently used to see if it's editable.

Originally, when I started sending them, I was just sending them to
general since I wanted to keep the volume on -announce down for those
that want a low-volume list.  But your point makes sense.  I'll send
them to -announce from now on.

I will.

It's using wml (same thing as Debian uses?) in a CVS repository on
chic.spi-inc.org.  If you are willing to help with our website, GREAT!
I don't know if that CVS repo is public, but the place to ask about that
-- and about pitching in to help -- is the spi-www list.  I'll do some
checking as well.

OK, I've added a news item to the site.  I've also added a Meetings page
that explains when and where our meetings generally occur.  Both of
these changes have been committed, but the public site only gets rebuilt
every 8 hours, so it could be a few hours until it appears.

Please feel free to send other suggestions along.  I'd suggest that
spi-general may be a more suitable forum.
