tower@AI.MIT.EDU (Leonard H. Tower Jr.) (10/16/90)
Chris at al. List gnu-emacs-source (aka newsgroup gnu.emacs.sources) is for the posting of actual sources including patches and updates. Please don't announce source there. This is so people can automatically archive the list/newsgroup and and get only source in their archives. Please announce packages in help-gnu-emacs/gnu.emacs.help. Please discuss them there as well. thanx -len (aka *gnu*-request@prep.ai.mit.edu) Here's the charter for gnu-emacs-sources/gnu.emacs.sources again: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * gnu-emacs-sources-request@prep.ai.mit.edu to subscribe to gnu-emacs-sources ** gnUSENET newsgroup: gnu.emacs.sources ** Gnu Emacs source code to: gnu-emacs-sources@prep.ai.mit.edu This list/newsgroup will be for the posting, by their authors, of lisp and C sources and patches that improve GNU Emacs. Its contents will be reviewed by FSF for inclusion in future releases of GNU Emacs. Please do NOT discuss or request source code here. Use help-gnu-emacs/gnu.emacs.help for those purposes. This allows the automatic archiving of sources posted to this list/newsgroup. Please do NOT post such sources to any other GNU mailing list (e.g help-gnu-emacs) or gnUSENET newsgroups (e.g. gnu.emacs.help). It's up to each poster to decide whether to cross-post to any non-gnUSENET newsgroup (e.g. comp.emacs or vmsnet.sources). Please do NOT announce that you have posted source code to gnu.emacs.sources to any other GNU mailing list (e.g. help-gnu-emacs) or gnUSENET newsgroups (e.g. gnu.emacs.help). People who want to keep up with sources will read this list/newsgroup. It's up to each poster to decide whether to announce a gnu.emacs.sources article in any non-gnUSENET newsgroup (e.g comp.emacs or comp.sources.d). If source or patches that were previously posted or a simple fix is requested in help-gnu-emacs, please mail it to the requester. Do NOT repost it. If you also want something that is requested, send mail to the requester asking him to forward it to you. This kind of traffic is best handled by e-mail, not by a broadcast medium that reaches thousands of sites. If the source is very long (>10k bytes) send mail offering to send it. This prevents the requester from getting many redundant copies and saves network bandwidth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- enjoy -len
