Hi
In the page that you suggest, I read "Announcements related to the
Fedora Project", which seems a pretty much vague. And the other says
"For users of Fedora", which is my case. To me don't seem logical that I
should sign to both.
The whole point is, if it is so obvious that one that signs for
Fedora-list should also sign for Fedora-Announce, why two separated
lists? If the announces are important and concern to the users.
Even in a high volume list like "Fedora-list", if I see a header
"[INFRASTRUCTURE TEAM - Urgent] ..." I will read the message.
Maybe because English is not my native tongue, but the word
"announcement" doesn't to suggest something that important.
About the filters, as I said, to make users happy, it isn't important,
just would be nice to have a page in Fedora Wiki.
Regards
Marcelo
