Let's have a look at my reply to your announcement:

Someone missed my subtle hint that they should have included
a subscription link with the announcement...

What's the missing part of the equation? I don't see any list related links
on the website! 

If I forgot, I can't blame anybody but myself, but my interest level waxes and 
wanes. I could see where it might look like I'm asking to be spoon fed on 
this, but suppose I just found out about MusE and free software yesterday? I 
would still have to hunt around to find the lists, and that assumes I know 
what standard operating procedure is.

Maybe the list info is buried someplace, but it's not mentioned on the 
homepage or the documentation page. In order to find out about any of the 
lists via 
http://lmuse.sourceforge.net/ 
one has to go via the download link and then poke around a little to get to 
the lists page.
There should be a readily available direct link to the list archives and 
subscription info presented when the sources are revealed. It's pretty much 
boilerplate to give people attempting to build code that resource at or 
before that time. It's also S.O.P. to include a subscription link when 
announcing a new list.


It's one of those little process things. If it were me, I'd also mention sf's 
lack of reply to munging at that time and request using "reply to list" 
appropriately. I have a sneaking suspicion there's traffic that bypasses the 
list because of that.

I have to taper off apparently ;)
