If it's so "natural" for a user to sign fedora-announce, this should be
stated in the web page, something like "It is highly recommend if you
are signing for fedora-list". One step further is to put a option (like
a check box) to sign for announce when signing for fedora-list.
you do not need a bunch of detailed pages if you just read what is at;
https://redhat.com/mailman/listinfo
And to make users happy, a guide on how to create filters to different
lists.
filters are filters. email clients are not all same when it comes to
setting up filters. among easiest to set up is thunderbird.
Hi
In the page that you suggest, I read "Announcements related to the
Fedora Project", which seems a pretty much vague.
Okay, but Fedora is the distribution released by the Fedora Project, so
related announcements should be of interest to anyone having to do
something with Fedora. The online list archive shows that only a very few
announcements have been made before.
Humm. I think you are confirming what I said. If every user should be
in both, since they have something to do with Fedora, why to separated
lists?
And the other says
"For users of Fedora", which is my case. To me don't seem logical that I
should sign to both.
Splitting-hairs. Many more lists could be made obsolete with such
a reasoning.
OK. Maybe they should. Some house keeping once in a while is good.
The whole point is, if it is so obvious that one that signs for
Fedora-list should also sign for Fedora-Announce, why two separated
lists?
And who maintains the _list of lists_ to which announcements shall
be sent? Do you ask for major cross-posts to [more than] a dozen lists?
Yes, I'm talking about Fedora-Announce and Fedora-List only.
If the announces are important and concern to the users.
... not just to "the users", but also to several other target groups,
who may not be subscribed to fedora-list.
Same applies to fedora-package-announce list.
I'm not so sure if packages-announce is in the same level as
Fedora-announce.
Even in a high volume list like "Fedora-list", if I see a header
"[INFRASTRUCTURE TEAM - Urgent] ..." I will read the message.
Only if you read the list on a daily basis or if you know what
special subject marker to search for in your filters.
Yes. I read the list every day.
Maybe because English is not my native tongue, but the word
"announcement" doesn't to suggest something that important.
Announcements at the airport or at the train-station, do you ignore
them?
If I remember right, the announcements in airports or train stations are
made to all users and it's user's responsibility to decide what to do.
Now image the opposite situation, that you have to go to a specific
place, a room, to have announcements. I think that the life of
travellers would be much more difficult.
