Well, yesish noish - certainly fsfe-uk is no replacement for Freshmeat.
I don't see any problem with announcements in general, but would prefer
they were tied up with something that was actually on-topic. 

I thought Kevin's announcement was fine, because of the interest in the
project and the nature of the project. Paul's is probably just ok for
me, so long as it wasn't done every release or so. But only cos Paul is
kind of a friend of the list (and hence Scribus too). I don't mind it
really infrequently.

It probably ought to, but in practice doesn't - in particular, it seems
that most people here don't wish this list to be a communication channel
to AFFS. Many of the other 'rules' have been violated on and off over
the however many years since I wrote it. 

We never really kept the thing alive properly - we didn't have a website
then (AFFS didn't exist), and we have moved list since. Ho hum.

Cheers,
