I agree that the weekly postings of the WNPP list to d-d-a is probably
not very effective. I personally delete the posting without reading
it and I think that most people do the same. We briefly had a chat
about this on IRC today and a number of people expressed their
agreement.
This is what I intend to do:
- send the weekly posting to debian-wnpp instead of d-d-a
- only include new entries (and provide a link to the web pages
listing all packages)
Unless there is major disagreement, I will go ahead with this and
announce the change to d-d-a (and mention that people can install
scripts such as wnpp-alert from the devscripts package).
(After sarge is out, I also intend to go through the WNPP listing and
remove some cruft.)
