There is a current thread on debian-proj...@lists.debian.org that makes clear 1.) how news delivery is stretched beyond capacity, in part by under staffing, and 2.) how they are trying in a many-headed way to fix it. Nevertheless, they did get the aforementioned notices posted. Continuing the irony is another debian-project thread wrestling with the issue of getting peripheral work done when it means additional commitments to large blocks of time by already overworked volunteers. Subscribing some low-level lists seems the least I can do, short of join the effort . . . It is a matter of checking boxes on a single page. My low-level list box, which procmail separates from high interest lists, actually becomes an interesting list itself. And I am informed without placing demands on the organization that is, after all, GIVING me maybe the most powerful operating system in the world and, probably, a life-long hobby. The numerous lists allow me to shop for exactly the topics that will comprise this, like a soup recipe. Mutt even maintains the thread when a subject jumps lists, e.g. from debian-devel-announce to debian-project. -- Kind Regards, Freeman http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
