Note: submissions to comp.os.linux.announce must be
|
2002-12-04 09:11:26 -05:00
|
|
|
sent to cola@stump.algebra.com, with short descr
|
|
|
|
|
of software and location. See http://stump.algebra.com/~cola/
|
|
|
|
|
NO CROSSPOSTING when sending to this address.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pack plenty information into the subject.
|
|
|
|
|
Don't write a subject like "Foo version 1.1 released". Many
|
|
|
|
|
people will not know what Foo is, so the subject won't help them
|
|
|
|
|
select articles. Instead, say "Foo 1.1 - copy files more
|
|
|
|
|
efficiently than cp". There is no need to say that the article
|
|
|
|
|
is an announcement, so don't write a subject like "ANNOUNCEMENT:
|
|
|
|
|
Foo version 1.1 released".
