Sounds like a good idea! A weekly or a daily CVS update to the list seems approapriate. (I assume nobody will consider at most one mail per day as excessive spam???) Thilo On Sat, Feb 04, 2006 at 03:33:46PM +0000, Shantenu Jha wrote:

From: Andre Merzky To: Simple API for Grid Applications WG Subject: CVS notifications to mailing list?

Hi Guys,

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 :-)

Cheers, Andre.
