In fact, what I think is really sub-optimal is that potential
contributors have two different channels to submit news. For instance,
I submit from time to time news to news.debian.net by mailing
submit@news.d.n. Now that DWN is being resurrected I don't really want
to have to inform two separate recipients (most likely because I'll
forget one of the two addresses).
How about establishing a common place to collect news?
If debian-publicity@l.d.o is already an established place, maybe Ana
(BCc-ed) can make news.d.n submit address point there and follow that
list? Similar concerns exist for the form on news.d.n, maybe it can
notify -publicity upon submission too?
I concur that a newsletter and a blog can be quite some different
communication media inducing different styles, so if there are 2 sets of
editors willing to have both I don't see a problem. But please don't
make me, as a news submitter, choose among the two :-)
Thank you all news.d.n and DWN!
Cheers.
