Hi, We can do a mass mailing to all our user but we never do it: sending 10000 mails is not a good option. What we can easily do is to post a news item on the front page. Less people read it than a mail, sure, but I think it can help. Interested? If so, can you provide a little explanation we can copy/paste + quote, with links? -- Mathieu Roy -- I\'m right now on vacation and I\'m forced to use an unfriendly tool to get/send mail. If you expect a reply from me very soon, add \"urgent\" in the subject field -- _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
