we consider to forward a weekly digest of CVS change notifications to the mailing list, for several reasons:
- we are doing a bad job in keeping the list up to date with the status of document work - the CVS logs might help
- we hope to get people interested if they see there really happens something... :-)
- it would motivate us to write better CVS log messages (well, would motivate me at least, as I am the lazy one...)
OTOH it means automated mails reach the list.
Any opinions?
Well, I am obviously for it :-)
Generally I like the idea to keep the list informed about changes in the CVS. It keeps things rolling. But in my experience digested mailings never get read :-P OTOH sending all CVS commit messages as separate would spam the list more than necessry... The bottom line is, that I'm a bit undecided what's the best in this case. Regards Hartmut
