Actually, Max, Drm and Benjamin will have to make a decision. I would =0D=

much prefer, that people do not post to the fink-devel list, but send =0D=

the announcement to me. After I have verified the information in the =0D
Mail and maybe even talked to the author I would pass it on to one of =0D=

you lead developers. That way we can a) avoid big discussions and b) =0D
one dedicated person can guarantee that the announcement will be taken =0D=

care off.  (namely me).=0D
=0D
THe next thing that would be beneficial to this setup, is the fact, =0D
that over the last few announces the news contacts I have no have come =0D=

to understand who I am, what I am doing. News sites also prefer to =0D
receive their information from a fixed source, in this particular case =0D=

it would be me. The additional amount of work is nothing I am afraid =0D
of. On the contrary, I am looking forward to it.=0D
=0D
So, it is your decision, either way I am happy to be of some help.=0D
