Tom,
> -announce is the one list that really NEEDS to have a human gatekeeper.
By "automate" I meant "like the News on the front page", with a web interface
and a collective team (slaves-to-the-www) to moderate it. There would have
to be humans involved.
Alternately, can Marc *please* designate an alternate moderator? I know that
majordomo supports this. Someone like Dave, Magnus and/or Robert?
Timing wasn't critical this morning (Newsforge checked with me before posting
a story) but for other stuff it may be. And more than once a vendor or
outside OSS project has waited for a week to get their stuff on -announce
because they didn't know they needed to send a private e-mail to Marc so he
would check the moderation list.
Also, it would be nice to have a several people with more time (collectively)
to weed out bad addresses. Right now, anyone who posts to announce gets an
average of 25-40 bounces, which is rather startling for first-time posters.
