Re: [LAD] Regarding the linux-audio lists announcing policy
MarcOChapeau: In the pd-world, we had a similar discussion to get rid of double- and triple-announcements some time ago, and solved it so that mails to the announce list get forwarded to the main list automatically. So people who want to announce something, only send mails to pd-announce. If you subscribe pd-list, you automatically also receive pd-announce, while if you subscribe pd-announce only, you only get pd-announce mails. Interesting suggestion. I guess this could work. This means that there should be some web page somewhere stating the rules that I could use in a template for denied emails. It would be great if you did that. Other ideas anyone ? How about automatically add follow-up to linux-audio-dev and/or linux-audio-user on mails posted to linux-audio-announce? ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
[LAD] Regarding the linux-audio lists announcing policy
I wonder if we could change the post-to-all-three-lists policy? I don't like to spam three mailing lists for everytime I announce a program, and it doesn't seem like everyone knows that we are supposed to post to all lists either. ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev

Not much point of an announce list if everyone spams all the lists anyway. Getting 3 emails instead of 1 is a bit annoying, especially since the point of the announce list existing is that the other lists are relatively high traffic. As for people not being subscribed, well... if you want announcements, subscribe to the announce list. Duh. :) There's an easily accessible archive on the web anyway -DR ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev

Hi Kjetil, Robin Gareus has made last year an interesting study on this matter. It seems that the proportion of users that are subscribed to all three lists is quite small. So cross posting announces on the 3 lists isn't such a bad thing. Now regarding the fact that not everyone knows they should post on the 3 lists, I don't really think that's the case. most announces I see are posted at least on 2 lists. LAA is nearly always one of them. Some people choose to add LAD and LAU, some choose to add also their project list. I just ran the script again: as of July 8 2008 there are 1760 unique subscribers @linuxaudio.org's 4 lists (laa,lau,lad,consortium). The majority of users is subscribed to ONE list only. # [EMAIL PROTECTED] = head-count [1] = 1255 [2] = 315 [3] = 160 [4] = 30 so long, robin -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIc42BeVUk8U+VK0IRAvq4AJ0WbEynpWrl71XGVi6SyW0q9VuZOwCfRiry ATg2dheRwpweXSucCn+7v5E= =Lzvy -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
