I imagine an announcement as being a summary of important post/thread on the normal list. But off course this won't stop Knut from cross-posting same content to all lists :-P > Would it be possible to auto subscribe all members of debian-edu, > skolelinux, bruker, i18n-no, etc. lists to the announcement list.

Auto-subscribing sounds not nice to me. Subscription should be an opt-in, not an opt-out. Limiting access to post to the list sounds not nice to me. We as a community should be given the responsibility to judge for ourselves what is "announcements" and what is not. :-) - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er n�r: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCJzRJn7DbMsAkQLgRAtc1AJ4zycVzbTJ5SqxCNYcep0CH1uba+wCeNiN9 /uxWR5KKIVnjx04FJOtk898= =goaq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
