There is already a place for this stuff. Delivering news via this mechanism allows us to reach far more people than we can via the other places. If we could already reach everyone, we wouldn't need this mechanism in the first place. > It really sounds like you are wanting to make this proposal way too > complex, but I'll wait for the actual GLEP text before making any more > comments. I don't see the complexity here. We're proposing a capability to deliver news direct to our users, in a way that can be completely disabled or personalised. How many large corporations would kill to have something that could do that? ;-) If I can't convince you of the merits, I guess there's nothing else for it but to continue work on delivering the proposal without your support :( Best regards, Stu --=20 Stuart Herbert stuart@gentoo.org Gentoo Developer =20 --=-WN0Yl207uk3TZwVWPoul Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDgN+6DC+AuvmvxXwRAt0pAJ9MlvLlLLnpF6XJDwlPQqYEp1XGMACfcFee EEP3PGI+3t9NxDRO4pyO78A= =ctiS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-WN0Yl207uk3TZwVWPoul-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
