Re: Mailing list footers?
Jude's final list looks good for now. Bertrand, can we please get it on
our mail list asap?
Although, I suggest we replace these long urls with the short and sweet
s.apache.org urls.

The one in Paul's email is fine with me. The first link is for people that
want to help with the project and don't know where to get started, not
necessarily for people who don't know what Flex is. We want to be helpful
to new comers in this way (search for "want to help" or "how to get
started" in the mailing list archives).
In another way these links are also for *us* to get to the other areas of
the project we use most. These are more valuable when you are working on
multiple devices, which many of do, and don't have all the project links
bookmarked on them.

What is the purpose of the first link? Somebody that has no idea what Flex
is, stumbles across the mailing list archives, his only way forward is via
that link, he follows it and becomes an avid Flex developer? Sounds a bit
far-fetched. In reality such a person would just google "Flex". The second
link is important though.

I suggest using the standard signature cut line (dash dash space). Some mail tools see that and not include in replies...

I think this is way too many links. We should minimize this to 1 or 2 at
max, last thing I want to see is 10 lines of links for every 1 line answer
or +1 posting that comes through this list.
