Meaning, those that want to stay on the discussion list will not have to maintain another queue. * Any and all emails to mediawiki-announce will also go to wikitech-announce. I don't mind either way, just want to know if the audience is considered a superset of mediawiki-announce. In which case developers that feel more integrated and want to get both, only have to subscribe to one of them. * Any and all emails to mediawiki-api-announce will also go to wikitech-announce. Again, just curious. I'm not vouching for or against it. > > Thank you! > -greg aka varnent > > Thank you! -- Krinkle _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
