Hello Fedora Universe! It is my pleasure to announce that starting on Tuesday http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ will be run by Mediawiki instead of Moin. Why bother announcing this to everyone? Well there are a couple of reasons.
For people like me who missed the discussion about this move to Mediawiki it would be nice to see the link. I believe that you made a right choice and I love Mediawiki but I would just like to see what is benefits are there with moving to Mediawiki so that I can take advantage of them.
Cheers, Valent.

Why are you replying on this list to a message from a different list? Not everyone is on fedora-announce-list so a reply to a non-existent message is somewhat disconcerting.

I'm guessing, because the announce list sets this list on the reply-to header because that's what they want you to do. I'm on both, and all the announce list messages that I see do that.

Interesting. An obvious bug in the announce list setup. Maybe you should report it to them (since you're on the list and I'm not).

Why's that a bug? You *can't* post to the announce list, on purpose, it's read-only. So the replies have to be directed to somewhere where people can respond.

Well, when you put it like that ...
<muse> I guess what's needed is a way to allow people to reply to list messages without being able to post new messages to the list. Obviously unworkable. </muse>

And that's what they've done ;-p with the reply-to address pointing to here. I haven't checked every announce message, but I'd noticed announcements like the one in question were generally CCd to this list, too. So people did get to see the original message, as well.

I wasn't clear enough: I meant replying to list messages *on the same list*, without general permission to post to the list.

If you mean reply to the sender, the correct way to do that is to use mail-followup-to to redirect replies instead of munging the reply-to header. If you do that 'reply' will reply to the sender and 'reply-all' will reply to the addresses in the mail-followup-to header.
