I was sort of under the impression that the site reshuffle was happening in a top down manner anyway - start with the portal, then sort out the less-immediately-visible lower bits. I'll preempt the 'this was all discussed on -advocacy, you should have been there' response with yet another agreement with Vince :-) - I too am getting far too much mail these days and another list is the last thing I need. Regards, Dave.

And I'll pre-empt *that* with "the volume of email isn't changing, only the ability to filter that email" ... the purpose of the -advocacy list is to focus on how to better market the software ... not through stuff like advertising, but how do we provide information to debunk alot of the out-dated myths that still float around ...

But we *are* filtering. I'm filtering out all mail from -advocacy. Besides, I already got off of lists that I wanted to be on due to the traffic. Now you want me to join one that I don't want to be on so I can get more traffic? I've seen how well filters work. I've asked you questions that I never did get an answer to. How is that any better than not getting the mail to begin with? Vince. -- http://www.meanstreamradio.com http://www.unknown-artists.com Internet radio: It's not file sharing, it'sjust radio.

I'm not subscribed to -advocacy either. I'm a little disturbed to hear
that major decisions seem to be getting taken there without any mention
in -hackers.

Everything that is discussed on -advocacy is generally that which is dealing with the advocacy web site ... case studies and such ... there are no "major decisions" being made over there ... in my case, it was a small pool of ppl interested in advocacy/marketing that I could draw on to write a stronger, less techie oriented, press release around ... I have a list of 350+ contacts that I used to get it out through, in various fields (university, publishing, etc) and needed something a little bit more at that level then I've been able to create in the past ... Most, if not all, of the stuff going through -advocacy is, right now, revolving around keeping track of the various press links that ppl find on the 'Net, which are to be added to the various sites that are currently being developed ... as well as a point of contact for liason'ng with companies willing/able to write and publish case studies ...
