Therefore ....
1. Send an announcement (f-announce-l) that we are doing an account
audit and cleaning:
* All account without watches and/or edit privs will be removed
* The UserName shall be purged, so it is available again later
* Link to page with more explanation.
2. Can we post for ... 24 hours? 48 hours? a short announcement
everywhere on the Wiki? Change the theme or something so there is a
notice that points to a page explaining the above.
Otherwise, sounds like a wise idea to me.
Can I be a stick in the mud for a sec, and suggest that we send the
email straight to the recipients? I know list posting is faster and
easier, but I fear we are relying on f-announce-l for things that should
be handled personally with account-holders. The reply-to should be set
to a bit-bucket, with a statement to that effect in an end note.
Many of these 9,000+ accounts are obviously going to be from people who
aren't subscribed to f-announce-l, and therefore we aren't really
playing nice by announcing there. When my account changes with any Web
presence, they send me a "personal" email; we should do the same.
