The gentoo-announce list currently gets a message in a month or two. IMHO it's not very useful that way. Why not open it for all developers to send announcements of medium and high importance? This can include various decisions - unified ebuild style, install -> /usr, etc. and announcements of important/interesting new ebuilds and major new versions of existing ones. I for one am tired of reading the cvs logs, and as Azarah says, most of us aren't on IRC 24/7 and can't follow all the discussions that take place. If you think gentoo-announce is important and should stay as-is, we can create a new list for this. In my view the optimal volume would be around 1 message per day, sometimes 2, with the messages being short and succint and any discussions taking place on a different list (gentoo-dev, -user, or the team lists). What do you think? -- Dan Armak Gentoo Linux Developer, Desktop Team Matan, Israel
