user@ list policy?
Is it acceptable to post release announcements for "third-party"
Subversion clients to users@?
I've just released a new version of SCPlugin (the Mac OS X Finder plug-
in for Subversion), which includes SVN 1.5 support:
http://scplugin.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=771
Can I post a brief announcement to users@subversion? I was thinking
of something along the same lines as I sent to my own "announce@" list:
http://scplugin.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=announce&msgNo=6

Fair 'nuff.

Those are older posts, some of them accidentally moderated through. I
think our policy has been to announce only Subversion itself and its
binary packages there; this has been pretty consistent in recent years,
except, again, for a few accidental mis-moderations.

...but maybe that section should be moved higher up?

I don't seen any problem with posting an announcement to users@, but
have you considered posting to announce@? Looking at the archives, it
appears that that list has been used for this purpose many times in the
past, and I think there's nothing wrong with using it for third-party
Subversion-related announcements now.
As an aside, the mailing lists page seems to have forgotten about the
announce@ list, perhaps we should remind it?

This is definitely part of the users@ charter -- go for it!
