Seconded! It's an annoying pain getting *unnecessary* duplicates. Let
those who want to know about it, join the announce list. Let those who
don't bother to find out about the lists do without.
So if you don't know about the lists you'll never find out about them? I
know they are on the Fedora intro page, but does anyone read that?
You may as well
ditch the announce list if you're going to duplicate every post on this
one.
I haven't noticed a duplicate of every fedora-announce message on this
list. In fact there are relatively few and I'd say an announcement of a
new Fedora release is probably of interest to most people here.
It would be annoying if a lot of people did this of course. Possibly the
best compromise would be to have announcements of new releases (and
major things like the recent repo problem) sent here by the announcer as
a matter of course, but this is something on which rational people are
not going to agree on.
With the logic behind the "we want to inform more users"
mentality, why
not forward the developer list to this list, too? And all the other
lists...
See above.
It's about time this list has a regular FAQ auto-posted. You
could
include things like links to how to use the mailing list, pointers to
prepared answers on the wiki to over-asked FAQs, and if you want more
information, join the announce list.
Energetically seconded :-)
