Well, I personally see posting announcements, and helping as many
people as possible as two separate topics/goals. After all, just
showing a newby the output of git log, would leave that person
perplexed at best, and would probably do more harm than good, if not
accompanied by background info. In the case of the
former, I think Tony's suggestion regarding a speakup-git list is a
good compromise. In the case of the latter, I don't see that as the
responsibility of the developer team, who already do more than enough
anyway, I rather see the goal of helping as many people as possible as
our responsibility, that of the speakup user base/community. I think
that goal is already facilitated fairly well through both this list,
and the speakup web site. I am also not saying though that this list,
and the site is the be all, and end all in terms of helping as many
people as possible, there's always room for more of that through any
means possible, which is the case for all free software projects I
think.
