<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Ah, I see you're after an "announcements" list? +0 on that. What do<br>
others think? I'm just as happy using this list. Given we will be<br>
advertising notable milestones to many existing lists, I'm not convinced<br>
of the value of another. We already have a massive list vortex<br>
(<a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo" target="_blank">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo</a>).<br>
<br>
Note: Everything on this list is already public, and subscription is<br>
open and un-moderated. It is a self selecting list so to speak. The<br>
archives are indexed at least daily by Google. We tend to prefer to<br>
have as much as possible out in the open, warts and all. That's very<br>
different to how most organisations work, and can be a bit of a culture<br>
shock for those who aren't used to it. If anything really is sensitive,<br>
then the private list should be used. By default, almost everything<br>
should be suitable for the public list. It's never been a problem in<br>
the past. My feeling is it adds more value than it takes.<br>
<br>
