Still to work on:
- should be one way mailing list (standard subscriber will only
received without being able to post) ???
- who should push the update emails ??
- what is the lowest severity to be pushed on the list - I guess
docs /typos might not be considered fixes ;).
Hi Bogdan,
i think there exists some kind of standard for such a list that is expected
from users and followed from many other projects:
- list name "announce"
- low volume, a few posts a month, only really important content
- must be moderated to prevent spam and abuse
So, going into more detail, i suggest that we use this list to:
- announce minor releases
- announce critical fixes for branches (e.g. crashes for important modules)
- announce important other events (e.g. a major change in project focus,
fundrasing efforts)
- the post will be written from the person who has done the fix
- the author can post the message first to the devel list, if he wants review
or another opinions
- if some (non author) developer think that a certain thing should be
announced, he needs to start a discussion about this on the devel list
Cheers,
Henning
