An announce list is standard fare, not like we are talking about something that would be terrible to maintain here. Create a list that does not allow posts, send it a message when a new package is available. Boom, 0 administration, almost 0 storage, very little resources. It is good practice and you will get a lot of subscribers that don't want to see the day to day traffic or visit the site constantly. -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at caosity.org [mailto:centos-bounces at caosity.org] On Behalf Of Francois Caen Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 5:55 PM To: CentOS discussion and information list Subject: Re: [Centos] Re: centos-announce list?

I'm already part of other communities like my local LUG. So I'm mostly interested in Announces from Centos, not really in "how do I burn CDs?" and the like.
