Nuzum, as usual, spot on.

While we are at it, I would add that _IF_ you feel it is important
enough to send out to 300, 400, or 1000 people, please take the time to
edit the quoted text down to the distilled minimum required.

Remember, this isn't Twitter, an instant messenger, or IRC chat room.
This is a mailing list and there are many others on the list.  For those
with hundreds if not thousands of emails, try to keep things as
condensed as possible.

I would also add that Launchpad has mailing lists for projects so that
the minute details can be discussed ad infinitum with the parties that
need to receive the information.  Further, you can put comments into
your Bazaar change logs for everyone to read.

Sincerely,
TJS

[ubuntu-art] petition for more descriptive email subjects

[Matthew Nuzum]

Hi, I'm excited to see the flurry of activity and can't wait to see the results.

For those of us following along, it would be far easier to keep up on
things if there were more descriptive subjects. So instead of 50
emails with the subject "New Wave" maybe just be more specific. "Need
help with tabs on New Wave" or something like that.

Also, if the context of the email starts to change, it's absolutely
appropriate to change the subject line. For example, it was about tabs
but now we're talking about transparency, just change the subject to
"New Wave title bar transparency."

I'm not trying to start another 50+ thread rant like top posting
subject, it's not the end of the world, but it would help me to keep
abreast of what is going on.
