Subject: Announcement posts and the charter (was Re:
INSECT Pro 2.5.1 released)
I agree this is a discussion worth having. I think the policy should be
more objective to give us a clear policy to abide by and enforce.
Suggestions for policy:
1)No tool announcements.
Best rational I can think of for this one: Tool announcments should go
to the specific group they are for. Pentest, webappsec, etc are all
better places for announcements.
2)Only announcements for OSI approved projects. Webappsec has this
policy I think, and it rewards people who share the most openly.
3)Announcements for only no-cost projects. Similar to the above
4)Announcements for initial and major feature releases only, with a
limit of 1 announcement per x months(3,6,12- whatever we deem reasonable
as an upper bound. I think one of the lists has this policy, and it
seems the most reasonable one to me.
