Hi,
I am new to this list. the reason I'm posting here is the following:
At the 'fedora-list' there has been a recent community effort to
formulate a document with the "guidelines" for posting to that list.
After a number of drafts and discussions, this document has reached a
more mature form, and has been put in the form of a web page:
Original: http://www-personal.ksu.edu/~seabra/linux/FedoraRules.html
Mirror: http://www.cwelug.org/fedora/FedoraRules.html
It is already considered "official", in the sense that it grew from
discussions in the list that have reached a consunsus. As a next step,
we would like to make this document know for most users of the list.
For this, the suggestions we have are:
1. Monthly reminder: having a link or a text-only
version of this document sent automatically
monthly to all subscribers;
2. Part of a welcoming message: Either include a
link in the welcoming message, or send a separate
e-mail with the text-only version of the document
to every new subscriber;
3. Linked to sign-up page: maybe there could be a link
in the sign in page?
4. Link in the sugnature. (in **MY** opinion, this would
likely be the most effective of all.) It would help if
there could be a link in the signature added by RedHat
to all messages distributed. The signature could then
look something like:
--**
fedora-list mailing list
fedora-list at redhat.com
To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
Before posting to this list, please check << link here >>
4. Submission to Fedora-docs: That last suggestion was made
to make this documet more "official".
So, that's where we are now. Please consider this message as a
"submission" Unless there's another way to do it). We would really
appreciate if the people responsibe could take a look at the page and
consider accepting it, if it seems appropriate.
Thank you very much,
