[Flightgear-announce] Announcing the new flightgear-fgaddon-commitlogs mailing list.

[Edward d'A. <tru...@gm...>]

Hi all,

As part of the recent git+svn repository and commit log mailing list
improvements, I would like to announce a brand new mailing list
specifically for content developers - the FGAddon commit log mailing
list:

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-fgaddon-commitlogs

If you are an aircraft developer with contributions in the official
FlightGear aircraft collection, you should consider signing up by
following that link!

This read only list will allow you to follow every change that happens
within the FGAddon repository, as they are committed.  The messages
will consist of the commit details, the repository log message and the
diff of the changes (truncated to a fixed but reasonable size).

Using email filters, you can choose to see just the changes that occur
to a subset of all aircraft.  The new list will increase the
transparency and accountability of the repository and allow you
respond to and comment on any change.  Replies to the messages will be
by default directed to the flightgear-devel mailing list (the reply-to
header is set), so make sure you are signed up there too before
responding ( https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
).

Regards,

Edward


P. S.  Note that a few problems with the post-commit repository hook
script remain so from time to time some commit messages may miss the
list.  This will hopefully soon be fixed.
