Release Announcements

[Felix Meschberger <fm...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

In the Nexus release management documentation [1] it notes, to "Remember
to forward this announcement to users@felix.apache.org - try not to
cross-post (CC:) announcements to both user and dev lists".

How about changing this to sending the announcement to announce(at)a.o,
dev@ and users@ and setting Reply-To to dev@ ?

This would simplify the announcement sending and I think that in this
case cross-posting is not a big issue.

Regards
Felix

+1

Maybe even add a line or two with a link to a specific page on our  
website that explains how to get help.

Greetings, Marcel

Well, I think we are adept enough on this list to figure it out. :-)

Seriously, I don't know what the best reply-to address would be. Since 
we are sending this out for users, it seems like reply-to should be set 
to users@ since if anyone has issues using it, it should be sent to 
there. I doubt the replies would be about developing the internals 
(i.e., dev@ subjects). What do you think?

Agreed. But then setting the Reply-To address to dev@ seems to be
incorrect, too: replies may come in and there is no initial mail and
thus researching archives would also be incomplete.

Well, one could argue that cross-posting to dev is not necessary since 
1) we voted on it and have seen the vote result so we are already aware 
of it and 2) most of us are subscribed to users too.
