" Add Link to the Archive before Sending to List Members "
i like this idea, my only worry might be adding to much delay but
we already add junk to user mailing list posts anyway and it does not seem
to cause any problems.
i think we should also add a link to a page soliciting sponsorship/funding
at the bottom of every post to the user mailing list.
People should be encouraged to post summaries of long/important
threads and add lots of keywords to make them easier to search for.
Any ways to encourage people to write summary reports would be helpful, in
fact i hereby request that people ask/tell me to summaries any long
threads that i start, or that i post in many times.
Sincerely
Alan Horkan
PS remember the brain dump i sent last week? i think the mailing list
archive software could stand to be a bit more flexible, more general data
should make it easier to find what one is looking for as well as making
thinks like summary posts and AWN easier.
