While the volume has been quite high today, and quite a bit higher than for previous conferences (half as many messages sent today alone as sent for all of DC13), I think this is relatively high signal-to-noise. There are only a few messages I've seen that IMHO would have been better directed to debconf-discuss instead of debconf-announce. In general, I think debconf-announce is the better place for announcing things like schedule changes (including new evening events) and events that aren't visible on the schedule (like drawings, assassins, etc). Some of these things would certainly be appropriate to put on debconf-discuss instead, if only they were done with more lead time. Maybe we should try to get better about announcing with enough lead time? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
