Hello everybody,
when linux-audio-announce was created, it was agreed that announcements
should be crossposted to all three lists. The reasoning was that this way
people wouldn't have to subcsribe to LAA if they were already on LAD+LAU.
Now when you look at LAA archives, some people post only to LAA, some
(like me) to all three lists, and some to either LAA+LAD or LAA+LAU.
My suggestion is that we drop this policy altogether: announcements should
be sent to LAA and optionally to LAD and/or LAU. At least I've always had
the nasty feeling that I'm spamming LAD+LAU with my Ecasound release
announcements. Of course, when announcing conferences, major new versions
(JACK-1.0.0 maybe? :)), etc, I see no harm in cross-posting to all the
three lists.
So in other words, if you really want to see _all_ the announcements,
you should subcsribe to LAA.
Any comments? If no objections, at least I will from now on send non-major
release announcements only to LAA.
