I don't think this list has a problem with too much announcement traffic. It isn't what I'd call a heavy-traffic list in general. Provided the announcements stay with stuff that is useful for the general PyGTK user (i.e. competitors like PyGUI should go elsewhere) I would say it's just fine as it is. I'd say a much bigger problem is that a large percentage of questions here never get answered, but there are no easy solutions to that of course... To be even more clear, I would rather prefer if announcement stayed in this same list. +1 +1 /Geoff ___ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/

Any of a project mailing list, a news feed or a website is more suited for that job and doesn't increase the noise ratio of this list. Furthermore, if someone is looking for a place to give more public exposure to her PyGTK related project there's also a section for it in the www.pygtk.org website ( http://www.pygtk.org/applications.html ). Anyone is invited to submit a request for inclusion and sending an e-mail to the pygtk-web address with a short description and a project URL is usually enough to get it done.
