I see some consensus for this, so what tag should be used in the subject to mark it? Let's reword the proposal to work with missing details...
I also suggest to have a factory development page that links to all these announcements, so that we reference them from one place. What do you think?
What i don't like about the wiki is that it is hard to see incremental changes to it, like you would see on a dedicated announce mailing list. And you can reply to the announcement (in-lining the text) and further discuss on opensuse-factory.
I agree with Lars in the other mail, that we should use some exising mailing lists, because we have too many, but opensuse-announce is for user announcments, what we discuss here is more a developer thing. I still see opensuse-factory for discussion (RFC or otherwise tagged mails) and some dedicated list only for announcmements (low traffic, only the results) as the best solution.
But i'm also fine with just discussion on opensuse-factory and the wiki. 'RFC' in the subject is fine for me.
My proposal was to discuss on -factory and just have a pointer in the wiki to it so that somebody can easily lookup these some time later - so I think we're in agreement, Andreas I like the wiki and I like [ANNOUNCE] as a prefix. I still think we should have a more prominent place for this information on the main page (www.opensuse.org). With the wiki in place a link to the wiki page should suffice. I am mostly thinking of users not subscribed to any mailing list and people not necessarily in tune with checking the wiki for important information. Robert
