Outside of a few things, I think this should be the case most of the time. I'm not sure why this hasn't been done in the past, but it seems like a good idea to me. >>So in conclusion, front page should get more updates, which would propigate >>to >>rss, and maybe link gentoo-announce to the front page as well. > > > I think having front-page news automatically sent to gentoo-announce > would be pretty cool. Eh, I don't like this idea :-) The idea of having an automated task sending mail to a list with >15K subscribers worries me a bit. Perhaps a better system of sending these announcements to one place and then the pr team (or who ever) does the posting at both places. > I'm going to say as much on our ML reform "list" and add you to the CC.
