All,
I see a sufficiently fair percentage of e-mail traffic relating to good
list hygiene; since it's repetitive anyway, would it make sense to post
a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly reminder since new users arrive
frequently at the list?
Experienced list users could auto-filter it away by designating a unique
subject header.
Stuff like:
Bottom posting [and reminder why] [and yes I left an accidental top
post in my last post :-) ]
No HTML [also might be helpful to explain why]
No thread hijacking, and why changing the subject isn't enough
Replying to the list and only the list, no extraneous cc:'s
How to report a problem
-- No debug logs unless requested
-- postconf -n
-- Relevant portion of maillog
Reminder of location & scope of documentation (i.e. enshrining Wietse's
discussion of the 'illustrated encyclopedia' nature of it)
A reminder to "start small"
Location of a few (or main?) list archives to remind it's worth
searching that first
Nothing too in-depth, just cleaning up the reporting of issues. It
should fit easily on a typical (~900 pixel, 12 pt) full screen single
page display.
