I agree with Jean-Luc. Daily e-mail from the list rarely tops 20 (which includes notices of new releases), I don't see a problem. I learned about MaemoClaws here and when the notice came out (just using this as an example) I decided to give it a try. I would not have checked the garage project news for this before then. Perhaps the forecast for new sales is very high and you're preparing for an onslaught of new users? :-) Nick Shaw -----Original Message----- From: maemo-users-bounces at maemo.org [mailto:maemo-users-bounces at maemo.org] On Behalf Of Jean-Luc Biord Sent: Friday, May 11, 2007 5:46 AM To: quim.gil at nokia.com Cc: maemo-users at maemo.org; maemo-developers at maemo.org Subject: Re: Garage project news (was RE: Plugins available for MaemoClaws-mail 2.9.2-1) > Hi, > > As you have seen now the http://maemo.org homepage features the news > coming from http://garage.maemo.org, that are written directly by the > project maintainers.

I think that a users mailing list is a good location, with others, to announce new versions of applications. All 200 projects will never announce in the same time. All people doesn't survey maemo.org to find new releases. But as you want, and even if I think that it's an error, the new releases will not be any more announced on this list.
