I'd like to keep up to date on any new bugs found and any new releases, but
w/o having the weekly "how do I do ls() on Solaris" discussion in my
mailbox. I have two proposals:

1) Posting of the FAQ weekly and inclusion of the FAQ's URL in the
distribution. That should help a little, even though the FAQ is only in
development. If someone needs help getting either of these done, I'm sure I
can find a way to help.

2) Creation of a new (moderated) mailing list with just the announcements. I
don't have a server, but I'm imagining the current list's server could
handle another list. The members of the current (discussion) list would
automatically get a copy of the items to the announce list, so there should
be no duplication of recipients. Plus, I'm imagining there are others like
me on this list who would rather only be on the announce list, which would
(obviously) have less traffic, thereby reducing load on the list server and
the net as a whole.

Please consider these proposals seriously, and those of you with the power
to initiate some of these measures please look into the feasibility of
implementing them.

Quoting Chadwick A. Dubuque, who wrote :

I think the FAQ is a bit to big for complete posting. A weekly pointer to
the FAQ, with just an overview of the contents would be better. I am willing
too and capable of doing something like that. Using crontab.

'we' would have to ask wuarchive. (Would the person from wuarchive reading this
list please stand up ;)

I was under the impression that it already existed.

I discussed this with the fellows around here, and the consensus seems to 
be as follows:

We could certainly host a moderated wu-ftpd-announce list.  In fact, there
already -is- a moderated wu-ftpd-announce list, but it is rarely used, and
half of the subscribers are unreachable...so it would take a little bit of
cleaning up.  We could probably handle the initial cleanup of "bouncing" 
subscribers, but regrettably we don't have the resources to provide a
moderator for the list. 

Sooo...if someone (or possibly more than one) wants to volunteer to act as
moderator, then it would basically be a done deal.  If you're interested,
please post to the list, so that everyone interested in being a moderator
can get a general idea of the number of volunteers.  I'm not sure if our
listproc is configurable for more than one moderator; if it is, we'll
possibly have more than one moderator, depending on how many volunteers we
get. 

If you have any questions, feel free to either e-mail me direct, or post 
to the list.  Thanks.
