The general advice I found ages ago about setting up projects on SF suggested three lists; <project>-announce, <project>-devel, and <project>-users. <project>-announce is for announcing new releases and security alerts. It is a moderated list, or only allows posting by special individuals. <project>-devel is for developer discussions, subscriber posts only. <project>-users is for user discussions, non-subscriber postings allowed (spam issues allowing). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ABO: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more info, including pgp key ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
