This tends to be my thinking on it. If we were to put in the docs that all important announcements were announced proactively on #1. www.gentoo.org and #2. gentoo-announce, then more users would use them. This has no bearing on --news, which I also think is a good idea and something we should implement. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-FqO6wKCeEcVxxbQYy/sn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDZm0JkT4lNIS36YERAvL4AJ99Z8Dpklq75NVs77Egw7H0KBuJiwCfZ/zD uV9/ACfie/w7h4/Nih3lotE= =CnrM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-FqO6wKCeEcVxxbQYy/sn-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
